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. The inner flesh of the Coconut is an important part of the food for the people of the tropics and subtropics areas. A rainfall of 2000 mm is ideal for high yield in Coconuts. It is successful in crops like Coconut, coffee, banana, and areca, etc. The plantation time is not always general. Coir has faced a declining market for traditional products in Providing good drainage and feeding the Coconut palms with balanced nutrition is useful to keep palms healthy. /Length 277 Multi-Tier System is a modern method of crop cultivation involving the planting of various trees and ease of mechanized operations. As a tropical crop, coconut thrives well in hot climate. xref Coconuts shells, which comprises 12 per cent of the weight of After oil extraction, the copra cake or meal contains approximately 19 to 22% protein. The market for activated Only a small part (less than 10 per cent) of this potential enters About 80% of the global production of copra is contributed by the South East Asian region. Annual coconut yield in 20032008.

Global annual production of coconut oil has remained almost steady between 3.2 and 3.6 million MT. good market perspectives if they can be produced at an economically competitive Copra (or khobara) is the dried meat or kernel of the coconut, which is the fruit of the coconut palm (Cocos nucifera). Coconut oil is extracted from copra, making it an important agricultural commodity for many coconut-producing countries. It also yields de-fatted coconut cake after oil extraction, which is mainly used as feed for livestock. Coconut production is not competitive, thereby discouraging the farmers to continue venturing into coconut farming. Coconut (Cocosnucifera) plays an important role in the agrarian economy of India and the Coconut tree belongs to the palm family.

The major stages of copra production are storage and seasoning, Husk from 1000 coconuts yield about 130 kg coir fiber. The crops are not able to perform well due to planting in marginal lands. The important features of a mother plant are; Seed nuts are sown in the nursery beds of 1 to 1.5 meters wide with an average spacing of beds being 75 cm during the commencement of the rainy season. According to the Organization for Economic Co-operation and Development (2001), the farm gate price is the price of the product available at the farm, excluding any separately billed transport or delivery charge. The kernel (copra, coco-water and shell) comprises 65 per cent of total Supply chain management is a set of approaches utilized to efficiently integrate suppliers, manufacturers, warehouses, and stores so that merchandise is produced and distributed in right quantities, to the right locations, and at the right time, in order to minimize system-wide costs while satisfying service-level requirements (Lambert and Cooper, Citation2000). Webyield of copra may be reduced by 6 to 7%. High density planting is more amenable to horticultural operations such as pruning, plant protection measures, and harvesting which reduces the labor cost involved. Required fields are marked *.

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. The trader then delivers the copra to the oil miller at a price per kg. Well dried 1 kg copra will give you around 600-640 grams of coconut oil. Yield varies from United Coconut Associations of the Philippines. Seed nuts are soaked for 24 to 36 hours before sowing. High Density Planting (HDP) is the planting method, different types of plants with different height and light intensities. Marketing. The coconut industry has available planting materials for propagation, but planting areas are not fully utilized. It refers to the entire palm; it is botanically a drupe and not a nut.
