The Philippines and coconut palms : problems and perspectives.

dc.creatorAldaba, F.R, autor. aut 42257
dc.descriptionThe Philippines is one of the world's largest producers of coconut and coconut-oil. However, production is predicted to fall significantly by 2009, because of nutritional deficiencies in the soil, the age of many trees, the unsuitability of many existing plantations, frequent premature harvesting, water shortages, and the cutting down of some mature trees to avoid the adverse consequences of the Comprehensive Agrarian Law. Recommended remedies are a better choice of varieties and hybrids, greater use of fertilizers and supplementary ground cover, increased irrigation, and measures to retain water in the soil. However, development is also being slowed down by financial and infrastructural problems. These are being faced by a number of government programmes, including encouraging the formation of planters' associations to promote efficiency in both production and the provision of government support.
