II. PCA Intervention
A. MAJOR PROGRAMS
1. Planting/Replanting
a. Objectives
• To ensure the long- term reliability of supply of coconut in the country to cope with
the increasing demand in the domestic and international markets;
• Intensify coconut planting and replanting in areas identified as highly suitable that
gives high economic returns in the long term; and
• Improve the current coconut populations through the use of PCA recommended
promising local cultivars and farmers’ identified best variety available in the locality.
b. Features
b.1. Participatory Coconut Planting
b.1.1.Participatory
•Farmers sourced their own seednuts, sow and propagate in their own nursery to
produce good seedlings.
b.1.2. Incentive-based
•Farmers shall be entitled to a monetary incentive of Php 40.00 per tree planted or
Php 4,000 per hectare
C.1. Planting
• Suitable idle open areas are tapped using open pollinated varieties
• Coverage: Nationwide
• Priority areas are those suitable for coconut growing; predominance of
farm holdings of ten (10) hectares and below; contiguity of farms within one
barangay or municipality; and accessibility for easy monitoring and evaluation.
C.2. Replanting
• Senile and unproductive trees cut in accordance with RA 8048
a. Objective:
* To improve the nutritional status of the soil in order to increase coconut
production
b. Features:
* Application of agricultural-grade salt or sodium chloride as form of
fertilizer to fruit-bearing trees.
c. Expected results
* 25% increase in production after a year of application
* 50% increase in production after the 2nd year of application
3. KAANIB Enterprise Development Project
a. Objective:
* To improve coconut farm productivity, increase income of the farmers
and generate additional jobs
b. Features:
* Establishment of KAANIB sites in partnership with Community-Based
Organization.
c. Expected results
* Increased farmers income from PhP 20,000 to PhP 100,000
* Increased farm productivity
* Generate additional jobs.
d. Impact to National Production
d.2. Fertilization
a. Target area for 2013 - 200, 000 has
b. Expected Output in terms
of nut production
1st year - 1.0B nuts
2nd year - 1.2B nuts
Study design:
- 1 tablespoon (15 mL)
- 3 times a day (one after breakfast,
after lunch and after dinner

marketing of coconut flour
Study 2- Nutritional and health benefits of
coconut flour
Results:

Other Product Development Activities
• Analysis of coco sugar has shown that the glycemic index is
low which is good for normal and diabetics.
a. Production in 2013 is forecast to recover by 4.22% and reach 2.618 million MT (copra
equivalent). This forecast is anchored on favourable weather, adequate rainfall, and
the government’s productivity enhancement program.
b. Coconut oil exports will continue to scale higher as global demand for alternative fuel
rises and the need for edible oils from emerging economically progressive populous
countries such as China, India and Russia continues to grow at a fast pace.
c. Coconut very well responds to the global need for naturally healthy great tasting
foods. Our coconut is non-GMO and organically farmed. Coconut oil is trans fat-free
and has no cholesterol.
d. New coconut food products are being developed. These products are marketed on a
platform of nutrition. Additionally, they cater to the health needs of the physically
infirm.
e. Coconut products do not destroy the environment.
• Non-food coco products will remain strong in the industrial markets. The
markets for soaps, detergents and other cleaning agents and personal care
products which used oleochemicals is almost unlimited.
