Table 6. /T 1325160 Copra pricing is largely influenced by world prices of coconut oil as well as domestic copra supply conditions. The oil millers by-products can be processed by the coco-chemicals producers and exporters. The average yield per hectare in coconut is 4.475 MT (Table 6). Husk from 1000 coconuts yield about 130 kg coir fiber. Figure 5. tree. /Width 2560 A supply chain consists of all parties involved, directly or indirectly, in fulfilling a customers request. (Citation2016) stated that the primary processing coconut product, copra, is less traded in the international market than the coconut oil. However, coconut oil is the major export product of the country followed by cake and desiccatedcoconut over the period of 20082013 (Figure 1). The multi-stakeholder platform provided by the PCA that allows all actors to participate, decide, and implement program and find solutions to problems is very critical for the growth of the coconut industry. They are; The high-density planting helps to increase Coconut production and improve quality in the long term. Laterite, alluvial, red sandy loam, and coastal sandy and reclaimed soils are the soil types that support Coconut plantation in India. In the south of India and Sri Lanka, for example, where the best quality Coconuts are planted on the coasts where they are most adaptive to saline conditions and on hillsides where they provide essential ecological services, as the next best substitute for the vegetative cover of the original tropical rain forest. The fruit may be of variable colors such as yellow, red, green, and orange (Nayar, Citation2017a). Earth auger helps to make a hole for planting. factors.

New era for the coconut sector. /Parent 239 0 R The yield of Coconut palms depends on different factors like the selected variety, soil type, irrigation facility, application of manure and fertilizers during the cultivation. Coconut fruit is categorized into two basic varieties according to the type of palm tree bearing the fruit. The palm prefers less diurnal variation between day and night but does not tolerate extreme temperatures. endobj The coconut industry is considered as the lifeblood of Philippine agriculture labeled as the countrys major pillar in foreign exchange revenue (Australian Centre for International Agricultural Research, Citation2007, Citation2017). More than 50% of coconut farm was monocultured. The main aim of the high density plantation is to meet essential productivity requirements by balancing vegetative and productive growth without affecting the quality of the fruit. Philippines and Indonesia), and the penetration of coir pith into markets for The present average productivity has reduced drastically to 3840 nuts per tree/year (840 kg/ha copra equivalent) from the ideal 75 nuts per tree/year. !:(":lQ!50;0WD~EA8?k_{@IgW_kh\3D2p>> G~?wzwi]A pd uozz_oE[#a`o/ko}z}_ze[Z KK2 Both the grades are treaded internationally.

The use of insect traps, chemical sprays, and the removal of materials that can be habitats to diseases causing organisms has proven to be effective to control diseases and pests of Coconut palm. 249 0 obj These three regions in Mindanao produced the bulk of coconuts in the Philippines. Weather plays a major role in the growth of Coconut palm, the first few years. Since refined coconut oil and virgin coconut oil are produced from the same source (coconut kernel or meat), differing only in the way they are processed, the major characteristics of these two oils are similar, as seen from the above table.

Coconut tree also requires full sunlight, though partial shade is tolerated. Also, planting can be taken up before the onset of the north-east monsoon. Coconut production is not competitive, thereby discouraging the farmers to continue venturing into coconut farming. This paper provides an overview of the coconut supply chain in the Philippines including coconut production, export markets, and supply chain structure, as well as analysis of constraints to increased agricultural production.

It is the largest employer of agricultural land and labor in the Philippines (Clarete and Roumasset, Citation1983). These fluctuations are captured in the monthly average prices. The shading effect produced by the Coconut canopy at higher densities results in less weed growth leading to a reduction in maintenance costs. However, the program for the industry is highly affected by the frequent changes in PCA leadership.

The farmers lack entrepreneurial and technical skills in managing the coconut farms. Milling and refiners are present but underutilized. The 289 million coconut trees can produce 11 billion coconuts at 43 nuts/tree annual output. The price margins influence the decisions of private enterprises and government and the government regulations on agricultural distribution services (Timmer, Citation1987). Coconut trees are productive throughout the year. -Valerolactone is considered to be responsible for the characteristic taste of coconut oil.
