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.). Since plant different kinds of plants, we can obtain yield throughout the year. Pabuayon et al. The coconut husks are processed into other industrial products. It shows a declining trend of production for both products throughout the year. There have been cases where Coconut is grown in hot weather conditions as long as the humidity is conducive. In 2016, the Netherlands andthe USA import the bulk of coconut products from thePhilippines (FAO, Citation2016; JICA, Citation2013) (Table 2). Efficiently utilize natural resources like soil, water, sunlight, and nutrients. The oil miller produces the crude coconut oil and passes it on to the oil refiner at a price per kg. 250 0 obj The seedlings are ready for transplantation after 5 months from sowing.

Coconut production is not competitive, thereby discouraging the farmers to continue venturing into coconut farming. The high density planting systems have given a high yield per unit area as well as high net profit in a 15-year-old plantation. WebCrop production depends on the availability of arable land and is affected in particular by yields, macroeconomic uncertainty, as well as consumption patterns; it also has a great incidence on agricultural commodities' prices. For areas with the lower monsoon, Coconut plantation takes place right before Monsoon. 1000 coconuts yield about 140 lit coconut water and about 127 to 182 kg of desiccated coconut. TABLE 3: GLOBAL PRODUCTION, EXPORTS AND DOMESTIC CONSUMPTION OF COCONUT OIL, [Note The differences in Production and Domestic Consumption are due to changes in Stocks.]. According to Aragon (Citation2000), copra processing is commonly done at the farm level. Traditionally, coir has been processed into a range of 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.

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. First, to maximize productivity in the coconut industry, collaboration must be fostered among the actors of the coconut supply chain. Providing good drainage and feeding the Coconut palms with balanced nutrition is useful to keep palms healthy. The wholesalers and retailers perform the wholesaling and retailing functions. It tolerates salinity and a wide range of pH. Cashew Nut shell liquids are also a vital part of various speciality chemicals. Nursery beds with poor drainage have raised beds for proper germination. Coconut tree responds well to summer irrigation i.e. In 2016, the coconut industry contributed 22% of the total export earnings of agricultural products. %PDF-1.3 The pleasant odour and taste of CNO when extracted from fresh material is mainly due to - and -lactones, present in trace amounts.

These markets have been dwindling The processors are categorized into three: (1) processor 1: oil miller, (2) processor 2: oil refinery, and (3) processor 3: for non-edible oil. This calls for the modernization of coconut production by empowering the farmers and developing the manufacturing sector to boost the activities in the industry. activated carbon. So we created Beyond Charts to put you on the right path. Figure 3. Globally, the Philippines ranks as the second largest producer of coconut. Figure 4 illustrates the market channel of copra. The tall variety of coconut produces fruits in 610 years after planting. In most areas coir is a by-product of copra production, and >> The data are also consistent with Clarete and Roumasset (Citation1983) that 84% are exported to foreign markets and 16% remaining for the domestic market. Most importantly the tree must be disease-free. Beyond Charts+ offers sophisticated Investors with advanced tools. The article on coconut farming is very useful. commercial trade. Source: Javier (Citation2015), Nayar (Citation2017a, Citation2017b). Commercial production of Webcopra, this is average annual yield of 1.78 t/ha achievable by CSA over the unfertilized trees. The final product (cooking oil) is then sold to the consumer at different price either it is the unbranded or branded CNO. The main producing countries are India, Indonesia, Papua New Guinea, the Philippines, Solomon Islands, Sri Lanka, Thailand and West Malaysia. The farmer is the one who produces and does the primary processing of nuts into copra. The inner flesh of the Coconut is an important part of the food for the people of the tropics and subtropics areas.

The Philippines and Indonesia are major exporters, while the EU countries and USA are major importers. The effects of summer irrigation by 40 liters per palm per week will increase the nuts yield by 50%. These prices for the last few years are listed in the following table. This yields over 14 billion nuts annually and employing 25 million Filipinos within the industry. It is only half of corn, a fifth of rice, and a sixth of sugarcane. WebOn the 11th year under the above-mentioned conditions, the highest net return per hectare and benefit cost ratio is attained. Coconut fruit is categorized into two basic varieties according to the type of palm tree bearing the fruit. If the groundwater level is high planting can be taken up in the mounds. Figure 5 shows the marketing channel of husked nuts (both young buko and old nuts). The following table presents global supply of copra meal (deoiled copra) for the past several years production, imports, exports, domestic consumption and ending stocks. If irrigation facilities are obtainable, it is advisable to take up planting at least a month before the onset of the monsoon. After oil extraction, the copra cake or meal contains approximately 19 to 22% protein.
