The Nationwide Association of Consumers, Inc.(NACI) is a non-government organization (NGO) engaged in the:

  1.  advocacy for consumer protection & economic  empowerment of consumers;
  2. development of livelihood opportunities through which consumers could uplift their economic welfare

THE ORGANIZATION

 

The Nationwide Association Of Consumers (NACI), Inc. is a non-stock, non-government organization (NGO) registered with the Securities & Exchange Commission (SEC) with SEC Registration No. ANO94-002719 dated July 20, 1994. It is the only consumer organization of national stature that has been accredited, so far, by the Department of Trade & Industry with Accreditation Certificate No. 01 dated November 12, 2003.

 

The organization's main advocacy is Consumer Welfare and Economic Empowerment of Consumers. " We believe that the best protected consumer is one who is  economically empowered and well informed ".

 

NACI operates through its regional and provincial chapters nationwide, and also through its affiliated organizations, mostly Cooperatives, in the provinces. It provides technical assistance to its members and affiliates in terms of the following:

 

·        develops feasibility studies and project proposals for economic empowerment;

·        conducts training and  seminars on Consumer Rights & Responsibilities, and on issues of concern relevant to consumer welfare & protection.

·        transfers livelihood technology for local implementation;

·        represents its members in public hearings and conferences on matters that affect consumer welfare;

·        represents its aggrieved members in dispute resolutions through the mediation of the Dep't of Trade & Industry (DTI), or Securities & Exchange Commission (SEC), or  any concerned government agency.

 

In this particular project, NACI addresses Consumer Right No. 1: " The right of consumers to basic needs "( food, shelter, clothing, education, etc.).

 

There is a need to ensure that the country’s social and economic resources are managed in a manner that is open, transparent, accountable and equitable. Consumers and their representatives have a significant part to play in achieving that goal. However, to play that part, the consumer movement recognizes that there is a need for increased cooperation and collaboration between and amongst existing consumer and consumer-related organizations and for the capacities of these groups and the knowledge of consumers to be improved.  Unless this is done, consumers and consumer advocates will not be in a position to effectively push for improvement in economic governance and that important stimulus for competition reform will be less effective than it could otherwise be.

 

The Nationwide Association of Consumers, Inc. is continually developing projects and activities towards the goal of economic and political empowerment for consumers and consumer groups throughout the Philippines.

FOR  BUSINESS  INVESTORS
Here are some business projects NACI has developed for potential business investors (foreign investors and funding agencies also welcome)

Agriforestry Project for Essential Oil Industry (Lemongrass, Ylang Ylang, Patchouli, Vetiver)

The demand for essential oils in the world market is increasing. More and more companies are searching for other sources of high-grade, cost-efficient essential oils and hydrolats for perfumes, cosmetics, food and massage oils. NACI's AGRIFORESTRY PROJECT, particularly the farming and distilling of  lemongrass,  is a viable and profitable business project for investors who know the potential this high-demand product has to offer. click here for more information

NACI Extra Virgin Coconut Oil Project
 
Another high-demand product in the world market these days is EXTRA VIRGIN COCONUT OIL or coconut oil extraced from the fruit through cold process (no use of heat at any stage). This keeps the coconut oil from spoilage longer than oil subjected to heat process. Extra Virgin Coconut Oil is used not only for cooking, but as a health supplement, massage oil, ingredient in bath and detergent soap, shampoo and face creams. The leftover pulp from the pressed coconut meat could also be used in producing COCONUT FLOUR.
 
The NEVCO (NACI Extra Virgin Coconut Oil) Project includes income and financial projections for interested investors who want to get into this low-budget, highly profitable business. click here for more info
