At the 2024 ASEAN Business Awards ceremony held in Vientiane, Lao PDR, awardees in the Priority Integration Sector showcased the strength of ASEAN's economic cooperation. This prestigious event recognized outstanding businesses across various categories, including Agriculture/Agri-Food, Energy/Renewable Energy, and Tourism, among others, promoting regional integration and competitiveness, and highlighting the contributions of enterprises that drive growth through innovation and sustainability.

 

Palawan-based Lionheart Farms is revolutionizing agriculture in the Philippines and Southeast Asia with its innovative, award-winning approach.

Led by CEO and Co-Founder Christian Eyde Moeller, Lionheart Farms is not only producing high-quality organic coconut products but also creating a sustainable ecosystem that empowers farmers and protects the environment.

"We're transforming agricultural food production into a knowledge-driven industry, setting the stage for growth and sustainability,” declares Moeller. “Our goal is to inspire the next generation of farmers by making agriculture an attractive and rewarding career choice.”

Lionheart Farms' success hinges on its vertically integrated model. This strategy breaks the mold of conventional farming practices by directly connecting local coconut farmers with global markets. This ensures fair partnerships for farmers, offering them a secure and profitable livelihood.

"Our approach goes beyond just producing high-quality products," explains Moeller. "We're creating a sustainable ecosystem that benefits everyone involved – farmers, consumers, and the environment."

Their commitment to sustainability extends beyond fair trade. They advocate for "The Power of SLOW" – prioritizing slow, thoughtful production methods and organic practices. This dedication is evident in their signature line of COCOES organic coconut flower condiments and sweeteners.

Lionheart Farms' innovative approach recently garnered them the prestigious ASEAN Business Award 2024 in the Agriculture/Agri-Food Based Priority Integration Sector. This recognition highlights their groundbreaking model and serves as a beacon of inspiration for the next generation of farmers in Southeast Asia.

"This achievement serves as an inspiration for the next generation of farmers and agri-entrepreneurs, showcasing the power of market-oriented, sustainable farming practices," Moeller states.
