Copra, the dried meat, is also consumed in food products and is the main source of coconut oil. The unit is in metric ton per hectare or kilograms per bearing tree. One MT of copra yields about 610 kg oil and 370 kg copra cake or meal. Though, the profit margin between the standard coconut density 64 palms/acre and the highest density Coconut planting 97 palms/acre is Rs. stream The identified six processors make up the processing sector of the coconut industry. The large share of agriculture is generated from crop subsector which is about 56%. Important quality parameters for commercial grades of refined coconut oil (RCNO) and virgin coconut oil (VCNO) are presented in the following table , TABLE 1: QUALITY PARAMETERS FOR REFINED AND VIRGIN COCONUT OIL, [Note: Induction period indicates oxidative stability of the oil, which provides the likely oil shelf life.]. << Large-scale coconut processing is generally done by industries who have plant capacity (e.g., coconut oil mills, desiccating plants, oleochemical companies, coconut vinegar processing companies, coco juice processing companies, coconut milk processing companies, coir processing plants, etc.). Figure 2 shows the declining trend of the export quantity of coconut products, namely raw coconut (coco), coconut oil (CNO), desiccated coconut, and copra cake (cake) over the period 19612017. According to Agustin (Citation2005) and Faustino (Citation2006), exports of coconuts account for 80% of production and 20% are processed and consumed domestically. New era for the coconut sector. Whether it's Globally, India ranks third in coconut and coconut oil production. Nevertheless, it does not provide a detailedempirical analysis of the value chains and the factors influencing exports of coconut products in the Philippines. Also, Coconut requires a bit of water, but not too much during the first few years. Large production areas, in During this natural disaster, the strong typhoon damaged 33 million trees across the region of Eastern Visayas alone for an estimated damaged cost of US$396 million (Food and Agriculture Organization, Citation2014). ThePhilippines' major coconut products exported in the raw state are kernel, shell, and husk. A key function of markets is price formation. erosion control mats and other geotextile applications for civil engineering, or Yield is an indicator of productivity derived by dividing total production by the area harvested for temporary crops or by the total bearing trees among permanent crops. The wholesalers of coconut products and cereals form the majority of wholesalers of agricultural products (Intal and Ranit, Citation2001; Ponce, Citation2004). There is no available irrigation system in coconut producing areas. WebAt some 40 nuts per ha (750 kg copra /ha), coconut has the lowest farm value per ha among crops.

Beyond Charts+ offers sophisticated Investors with advanced tools. Generally, 90% of seeds will germinate. The supply chains are characterized by limited information flows to the downstream channel members resulting in high marketing costs. Figure 3. The average yield per hectare in coconut is 4.475 MT (Table 6). Therefore, examining value-addition in the coconut supply chains would be an excellent opportunity for future research. The 289 million coconut trees can produce 11 billion coconuts at 43 nuts/tree annual output. The coconut industry is one of the important economic sectors in the Philippines. products (fibre, yarn, door mats, matting, runners and carpets). /Name /Im0 Loss of palms due to natural causes and the difficulty of bringing up supplies to the point of bearing result in an appreciable loss in the total crop from a widely spaced plantation, whereas, loss in total crop would be minimal with high density planting. The remaining 289 million trees will produce the industrys raw materials. Several factors may be responsible for this low productivity compared to other Asia Pacific pads4. In 2016, the coconut industry contributed 22% of the total export earnings of agricultural products. Fifty-one million out of 340 million Philippine coconut trees are old and need to be replaced. Copra yields range from 1 to 2 tonnes per hectare depending on variety, age of palm, soil fertility, and farming In the case of young trees, the nutrient dose must be given at the rate of 1/4, From the 5th year onwards, apply about 50 kg of FYM or compost or green manure. The importance of crop production is related to harvested areas, returns per hectare (yields) and quantities produced. Also, irrigation applies to matured established plants of 2 years and above. Then, apply lime or dolomite during April-May, magnesium sulphate during August-September, and organic matter during June-July. Where pastures are established under palms at closer spacing and higher densities then light transmission values will be lower. million tonnes around 1980 to almost 50 million tonnes today. The domestic utilization of coconut products is copra, crude coconut oil, cochin oil, RBD oil, desiccated coconut, copra meal, husk nuts, and coconut shell charcoal (Philippine Coconut Authority, Citation2018). 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. pith are obtained, which have been accumulating at production sites over the DnT*m5S0aUO R8(L%4A#g@Aax(P a U4pr0]S7tGPo The coconut industry has available planting materials for propagation, but planting areas are not fully utilized.

The major markets of coconut oil are theNetherlands (40.42%) and the United States of America (40.18%), while the remaining 20% are exported to Japan, Malaysia, Italy, and other countries (Table 7). However, the speed of germination changes within and among Coconut ecotypes and varieties. Small-scale processing of coconut processed products like coconut vinegar, coconut oil, coco coir, and coco-charcoal is done at the village/community/barrio level through small coconut farmers organizations (SCFOs) or cooperatives to a limited extent. There is a shortage of raw materials for the milling industry. High density planting is more amenable to horticultural operations such as pruning, plant protection measures, and harvesting which reduces the labor cost involved. Typical oil content of copra is 63 to 68%. However, similar increase has not been observed for coconut oil production.
