HISTORY

"It was a simple vision of gathering together in one assembly the parish cooperatives of Nueva Segovia, the big cooperative and the small coops in different parishes including cooperatives in mountain areas and so on and so forth. The simple vision was for them to come together so that in unity they can have strength.. so that the bigger cooperatives can help the smaller cooperatives... That was the simple vision."

His Eminence Orlando Cardinal B. Quevedo
Founder, Nueva Segovia Consortium of Cooperatives
September 17, 2017 NSCC's Silver Anniversary Celebration

Nueva Segovia Consortium of Cooperatives was organized by the Archdiocese of Nueva Segovia through the Archbishop of that time His Eminence Orlando Cardinal Quevedo and Msgr. Ambrose L. Cabildo.

On June 7, 1992, the first consultation meeting to organize NSCC was held. Then a follow-up organizational assembly happened on July 5, 1992 to amend/ratify/approve the Articles of Cooperation and By-laws. Finally, it was registered on September 17, 1992 with the Cooperative Development Authority with Registration Number DAG-2218. The pioneer members of NSCC are 18 church-based cooperatives coming from different parts of Ilocos Sur.

The Archdiocese appointed Mrs. Divina C. Quemi as Manager, who was formerly Ms. Divina Cabunoc and the loan officer of Caritas Nueva Segovia. She gladly accepted this new responsibility at the young age of 24, even if it was her first time handling cooperative operations. She was later assisted by two employees, Mr. Rolando Parel and Mrs. Fely Tugade. As of today, these three initial employees have grown to more than 400 employees.

NSCC started with a minimal capital of Php 13,500.00, which increased through contributions of members and was used to serve the following programs:

WHOLESALE LENDING PROGRAM – to provide financial assistance to strengthen member cooperatives' capitalization
COACHING OR TRAINING SERVICES – to enhance the capability of officers in managing cooperatives
COMMUNITY ORGANIZING – organizing groups of people into cooperatives

Programs and Services - NSCC F-A-C-T-S

Over the years, NSCC's commitment to progress has seen a remarkable evolution in its programs and services. Transitioning from its initial focus on sole credit services, NSCC has diversified its offerings into a comprehensive suite of programs known as NSCC FACTS – Financial Services, Agriculture and Marketing, Capacity Building and Training, Tourism Program, and Social Services.

A - Agro-enterprise and Marketing

C - Capability Building Services

T - Tourism Services

S - Social Services

Financial Services

At the heart of NSCC's mission is the steadfast commitment to empowering its members through financial assistance. NSCC plays a crucial role in facilitating the growth of members' businesses by providing loans for various purposes, including support for agriculture ventures, aiding transport cooperatives in complying with the PUV Modernization Law, and catering to other financial needs. The organization also welcomes savings, time deposits, and share capital investments, fostering a culture of financial inclusivity and collective prosperity.

Wholesale Lending Program for Primary Cooperatives: The wholesale lending program was the pioneer service offered by NSCC to its members. This aims to provide members with financial loan assistance to finance their different projects. The loan assistance is given with minimal charges.
Transport Coops Loan Program: The Nueva Segovia Consortium of Cooperatives was the first Federation that catered financial needs of the Transport Cooperatives for their compliance to the PUV Modernization Law.
Savings Mobilization: The Cooperative promotes frugality among its members through accepting savings and time deposits at a competitive rate of interest. It also offers the Aflatoun Child Savings Program to promote financial education and thrift to elementary and high school students.

NSCC's Financial Performance – NSCC achieved its billion assets status on May 31, 2014, making it the first Cooperative Federation to hit a billion in Region 1. As of December 31, 2023, NSCC has reached a total assets of Php4.38 Billion.

Agro-Enterprise and Marketing

Within the Agriculture and Marketing Program, NSCC emerges as a vital catalyst for the rural economy, offering cooperatives and farmers an array of essential services. This includes the provision of affordable and accessible farm inputs, consolidation, and marketing of farm produce, as well as facilitating low-cost rental of farm facilities such as drying pavements and farm machinery and equipment.

NSCC's Agriculture Program has not just flourished but evolved into a dynamic force for sustainable development, thanks to the strategic projects entrusted by the Department of Agriculture, Department of Agrarian Reform and with trust and support of the financial institutions like Land Bank of the Philippines, Development Bank of the Philippines, Coop Affiliations and other partner financial institutions.

Palay Buying and Rice Marketing and Trading

It started in 2014 when NSCC buys the palay products of primary cooperatives. The palay bought are milled and sold to its members in different branches. The aim of this is to help the cooperatives market the produced palay of their members. The scheme is either sold in cash or the cooperative can borrow a capital to buy the palay products of its members.

Palay Buying Program: NSCC's financial support for palay procurement directly impacts local farmers, ensuring fair compensation and reinforcing the organization's dedication to agricultural well-being. Under the program is the financial assistance from the BuyANIhan Program of the Agricultural Credit Policy Council and funded by the Development Bank of the Philippines.
Rice Processing Center: Beyond palay buying, NSCC's Rice Processing Center stands as a comprehensive hub for both procurement and marketing, streamlining the agricultural supply chain and enhancing market accessibility for rice producers. This is in partnership with the Department of Agriculture.

Palay Buying and Rice Marketing

Palay bought from farmers and cooperatives are milled by NSCC and then sold to members in whole Luzon.

Other palay stocks are also dried and sold to the National Food Authority.
