COCONUT LEVY TRUST FUND LAW

Coconut Levy Trust Fund Law was passed by the Senate of the Philippines as Senate
Bill No. 1396 on October 5, 2020. Adapted by the House of Representatives as an
Amendment to the House Bill No. 8136 on December 16, 2020 and signed into Law by the
Honorable President Rodrigo R. Duterte on February 26, 2021

The RA 11524 or Coconut Farmers and Industry Trust Fund Act is an act creating the
Coconut Farmers and Industry Trust Fund, providing for its management and utilization,
reconstituting for the purpose of the Philippine Coconut Authority Board, and for other purposes.

The Act stipulates the Formulation of the Coconut Farmers and Industry Development Plan
(CFIDP) that will serve as guide for the development and rehabilitation of the coconut industry, the
reconstitution and strengthening of Philippine Coconut Authority, reconveyance of the Coconut Levy
assets and/or funds, the creation of Coconut Farmers and Industry Trust Fund and dispositions of
Non-cash Coconut Levy assets.

Figure 1. Region VI Coconut Density Map

Western Visayas has 205,892.41 hectares coconut area or 9.87% of its total land area
planted with 20,866,592 coconut trees, 52% of which are bearing, 43% non-bearing and 5% senile
trees1. Coconut tree population is generally composed of local tall varieties, a mixture of Laguna,
Tagnanan or San Ramon. “Dahili” or local dwarf is also observed in some areas of Aklan identified
as “Banga” dwarf. In the 1980s, PCA also introduced “MAWA” hybrid. A collection of 67 talls, dwarfs
and accession can be found in the Coconut Breeding Testing Station, Capiz State University in
Mambusao, Capiz.

The average nut production in the region is 65 nuts/tree/year or 699,479,105 nuts converted
into copra that is 155,440 metric tons. The region has 181,161 hectares available for coconut
expansion with 8,047 hectares plantable coastal areas2. Most numbered of coconuts are located in
Aklan and in southern and northern portion of Negros Occidental as shown in Figure 1.

Figure 3. Regional Statistics

As of December 2020, there are 237,393 listed3 coconut farmers, 58% are farm owners and
owner-tillers while the rest are tenants and farm workers. About 998 Coconut Farmers
Organizations and Cooperatives4 are actively participating in different projects and activities of the
Philippine Coconut Authority and other National Government Agencies.

Only a few young engaging farmers opt to work on the coconut farm. With an aging
population the average age of which is 55 years old5 and average coconut farm size in the region is
1.4 hectares. Coconut still grown traditionally in most areas by these, the economic impact in terms
of farm productivity and income generation is relatively low.

Table 1. Provincial Coconut Profile6

The Province of Aklan ranked number one in terms of coconut area (50,821.37 hectares),
second is Negros Occidental (48,170.30 hectares), third is Iloilo (37,818.14 hectares), followed by
Capiz (31,211.86 hectares), Antique (29,549.03 hectares) and Guimaras (8,321.71 hectares).

There are about 2,584 (64%) cocal barangays in the region. These are barangays having
atleast 10% of the land area planted to coconut. The region’s average annual nut production is 65
nuts per tree per year, way below than the average nut production of the local tall variety which is 85

nuts per tree per year given the optimum agro-climatic condition. The low productivity is attributed
by the age of coconut (senile), agro-climatic condition, lack of nutrients and coconut varietal factor.

ISSUES AND CHALLENGES

The coconut industry is being challenged by different factors affecting its development. With
regards to the production, it has been affected by the increasing number of senile trees at the rate of
3% annually7, some illegal cutting practices and also conversions of coconut areas into commercial
and residential land uses. Other factors are typhoons and droughts and the occurrence of pests like
Coconut Leaf Beetle (Brontispa longissima), Asiatic Palm Weevil (Rhynchophorus ferrugineus) and
the Coconut Scale Insects (Aspidiotus destructor and Aspidiotus rigidus) or “Cocolisap” and some
coconut diseases that bring minimal to moderate damage to coconuts and its production.

Moreover, the subsistence manner of farming coupled with lack of value adding operations
due to lack of post harvest and processing facilities plus the multi-layered marketing systems put
most of the coconut farmers at the disadvantaged position. Not only that, the lack of operating
capital and limited access to financial institutions immobilize the farmers’ organizations to expand or
even start-up a business. In addition, there are product quality standards and restrictive market
requirements that are difficult to meet with the absence of standard compliant-facilities and
adequate mechanization.

This situation is further aggravated by the ageing coconut farmers (average age is 55 years
old) resulting to lack of labor force in the farming communities. At the same time, the lack of PCA
personnel who are responsible to catalyze the development in the countryside resulting to
fragmented program and project implementation and monitoring (see Figure 13).

PROSPECTS/OPPORTUNITIES

There is an increasing demand for coconut products (food and non-food) in the local and
international market. This can be met through clustering of farmers and products. The consolidation
effort should be coupled with activities that would increase their capacities as an association
through the creation of business and investment portfolios.

The current clinical test for Virgin Coconut Oil (VCO) by DOST that proved its effectiveness
against mild COVID-19 infection is a welcome development8. This health benefits will increase
domestic utilization of VCO and would trigger growth in the coconut value chain that would directly
benefit the coconut farmers and the industry. With the amazing properties of VCO, a lot of
promising products can be develop like VCO capsule food supplement, VCO soap, VCO Massage
Oil, VCO cream and hair products to name a few.

Other opportunities for coconut is the Coconut Methyl Ester (CME) as a Petroleum Diesel
Fuel (PDF) quality enhancing additive. In compliance with the Philippine Clean Air Act (RA 8749),
the law provided a window of opportunity for CME Application which demonstrates a cost-effective
solution in complying with the smoke emission specifications/standards of RA 8749.

The current Coconut Methyl Ester (CME) blend is 2% and by increasing it to 5% will
significantly impact the country’s coconut industry. The higher CME content would increase
utilization domestically and would lessen the country’s dependence on the unstable world market

price for copra, CNO and other coconut-based products. The increase in the domestic utilization
demand for coconut oil through the full implementation of B5 will definitely improve the farm gate
price of copra. An increase in coco biodiesel blend to five percent (5%) is seen to increase 350,000
metric tons of coconut oil consumption, which is about 29% of yearly coconut oil production9.

Another product that would stimulate economic growth is the production of white copra, a
high-grade copra produced using indirect heating system. The system dries the copra with only hot
air comes in contact with the coconut kernel thus producing white copra. With this method the end
product is white coconut oil with appearance almost like virgin coconut oil or this could be
considered as MCT (Medium Chain Triglycerides) oil. This kind of oil can be sold to the
manufacturers of household and cosmetic products which generates higher income than ordinary
copra production.

Coconut is called the “Tree of Life” because it can provide all the basic needs of human in
order to live. There are countless possibilities by which it can be utilized for food and non-food
products. Because of the promising products from coconut, this is considered as good investment
for value adding. The meat is used for the production of coconut oil, virgin coconut oil, copra meal,
flour, desiccated coconut and for culinary purposes. Coconut water at the same time is considered
as healthiest drink and has lots of health benefits to the body. Coir products are becoming popular
for agricultural and industrial uses such as geonets, cocologs, coco pots, etc. Coco peat at the
same time is a good soil conditioner because of its organic content and high water holding capacity.

These show that the potential uses of coconut extends from crown down to its roots. Such
parts that commonly become agricultural wastes needs to be explore and develop. Coconut shell,
fronds, lumber, leaves and husk have high potential as materials for other non-food products like
novelty items, dyes, furniture, fiber boards and a lot more. The opportunity for utilization and
development of value-added products in coconut is very extensive.

CORRIDORS OF AGRI-BUSINESS DEVELOPMENT

The coconut industry in Region VI is thriving as demands for coconut products particularly
copra remains to be high together with the increasing demands for young nuts (buko) and whole
matured nuts in the domestic market.

The region’s economic drivers are the Micro, Small and Medium Enterprises (MSMEs)
composed of traders, processors and Oil Mills distributed in strategic locations in the region. As of
2021, there are 122 registered coconut businesses excluding coco-lumber trading, categorized as
71 copra traders, 9 whole nut traders, 2 green nuts or “buko” traders and 1 shell charcoal trader.
Processors are the 3 Oil Millers, 19 Virgin Coconut Oil, 17 Coir and 4 Coconut sugar Processors10.

Coconut products produce locally include vinegar, soap, virgin coconut oil, charcoal, sugar,
pickles, nata de coco, bread and pastries, “bukayo”, toddy, twine and coconet, and novelty items
which are sold locally though some find their way to the international market.

Figure 6. Oil Millers in the Region

There are three (3) coconut oil mills in the Region, two (2) of them are owned and managed
by farmers’ cooperative. The Visayas Coco Development, Inc. oil mill in Jibao-an, Pavia, Iloilo has
an actual capacity of 50,000 L/year RBD oil with its product brand King’s Oil. The CASCOFAMCO
Oil Mill established on October 2019 located in Ondoy, Ivisan, Capiz is owned and managed by
Capiz Small Coconut Farmers Marketing Cooperative and is the first Coconut Hub Project of
Philippine Coconut Authority Region VI. It is operating at an actual capacity of 38,000 kgs crude oil
annually. Its products are refined cooking oil, crude oil and copra meal. Another farmers’
cooperative oil mill is located in Man-up, Altavas, owned and managed by Man-up Multi-Purpose
Cooperative with 300 kgs crude oil daily capacity. This milling facility started its operation on
September 2020 with funds from Philippine Rural Development Project. Refined oil and other

15 | WESTERN VISAYAS COCONUT FARMERS AND INDUSTRY DEVELOPMENT PLAN


products from these two (2) mills are traded within the region. Crude oil and copra meals are traded
to the various animal feed mills.

It is estimated that coconut generates around P290 Million in revenue however, only a
portion ends in the regional treasury. Take the case of Negros Occidental wherein almost 95% of
their copra are traded in Negros Oriental or of Aklan which are sold to oil mills outside of the region.
The three (3) major local coconut industry contributors are: (1) Copra Buyer/Traders (2) Oil Mills
and (3) Coconut Processors (SMEs). The 71 registered (as of January 2021) copra buyer/traders
contribute around 57.26% on the local coconut economy.

RA 8048 (Coconut Preservation Act) collection generates revenue of 4,170,192 on year


2020, this includes fees from coconut cutting, lumber trading and processing, transport of coconut
products such as lumber, seedlings, copra, nuts, etc. but still continuous cutting whether legal or
indiscriminate pose a threat and detriment to the coconut industry.

COPRA PRICE INDEX

The dependency of the coconut economy to the export market, in which 80% of country’s
coconut products are being exported with only 20% is being utilize domestically is very much
affected with the glut of vegetable oils in the international market in the previous years. The palm oil
supplies 35% of the need of the international market, followed by soybean oil which is 29% and
coconut accounts for only 2%. As a result, price of copra in the country is very erratic, adversely
affecting the income of the small coconut farmers.

16 | WESTERN VISAYAS COCONUT FARMERS AND INDUSTRY DEVELOPMENT PLAN


Figure 7. Copra Price Trend 2017-202012

Traditionally, coconut farmers sell their copra to local traders within their Barangays in a far
lesser price. The current multi-layered market structure of copra is disadvantageous to the coconut
farmers. The middlemen often take the huge chunk on the price because they are the one who
dictate the prevailing price and copra farmers cannot complain because oftentimes these farmers
are already indebted to these traders.

COCONUT PRODUCTION AND UTILIZATION

A single nut is composed of 30% meat, 22% water, 33 % husk and 15% shell13. The coconut
husk can be disaggregated into two products: the coir/fiber and the coco peat/dust, 30% and 70% of
the husk respectively. In this, the 10,764,217 coconut bearing trees can produce 94,818 MT of
coconut oil, 62,953 MT of coco coir, 146,891 MT of coco peat and 153,885 MT of coconut water.
However, based on the existing processors only 2,867 MT (3.02%) of coconut oil is processed
within the Region, 6,048 MT (9.61%) of coco coir, 13,910 MT (9.47%) of coco peat and 15 MT
(0.01%) of coconut water annually.

Only 3% of coconut is being processed within the Region, the remaining 97% goes to other
Regions (4,5 and 7) in copra form. On the other hand, only 10% of husk is being processed into
different coir products such as geonets and geologs. Demand for geonets and geologs which is
used for slope protection by the Department of Public Works and Highways (DPWH) is being
sourced outside the region.

Figure 4. Region VI Volume of Production vs Utilization

There is a huge gap between supply and utilization of coconut in the region. The combined
processing capacities of three (3) oil mills, a big privately owned company and two cooperative
owned small oil mills is at 3% utilization of the regional coconut production. The rest are traded in
form of copra through numerous copra traders ending up to a big consolidator for shipment outside
the region. We see this as a lost opportunity in terms of processed products and jobs that could be
created.

This scenario is caused by lack of coconut processing facilities in the Region. Most of the
existing coconut processors are micro enterprises like the Community/Household-Level Coconut
Processing Project (CHCLPP) Facilities under the Kasaganaan sa Niyugan ay Kaunlaran ng
Bayan (KAANIB) Enterprise Development Project (KEDP) managed by Small Coconut Farmers
Organizations (SCFOs) or farmers’ cooperatives which majority of them are non-functional because
of the various reasons like; institutional capability and lack of operating capital, manpower, market
linkages, GMP compliant processing facilities and LTO-BFAD Certification for VCO Processors.

If the supply volume of coconut will be fully utilize (zero waste), this will generate an
estimated 33 billion pesos gross income to the economy of the region. This constitutes 12 billion
pesos from coconut oil, 800 million pesos from coco coir, 700 million pesos from coco peat and
around 20 billion pesos from coconut water.

The current business corridors and the value chain system of Region VI is mainly focused on
trading of traditional copra, the regional coconut development plan aims to address the gap
between production and utilization. Investments on shared facilities in strategic locations will be
considered for processing of high value products that will create jobs and increased sales and
income. The proposed shared service facilities (zero waste) will increase 10% on the utilization,
contributing approximately 2.97 billion pesos in the regional economy. Planting of hybrid coconuts in
suitable areas proximate to processing facilities will be prioritized to sustain the needed raw
materials and development of diversified coconut-based farming systems for increased productivity
and income.

AND FIVE-YEAR
TARGETS

23 | WESTERN VISAYAS COCONUT FARMERS AND INDUSTRY DEVELOPMENT PLAN


4.1. INTER-AGENCY PROGRAM PLANNING

Crafting of the Coconut Farmers and Industry Development Plan calls for inter-agency
planning of different National Government Agencies such as:
 Department of Agriculture (DA)
 Philippine Coconut Authority (PCA)
 National Dairy Authority (NDA)
 Philippine Carabao Center (PCC)
 Bureau of Animal Industry (BAI)
 Philippine Crop Insurance Corporation (PCIC)
 Philippine Center for Postharvest Development and Mechanization(PhilMech)
 Agricultural Training Institute (ATI)
 Department of Science and Technology-Philippine Council for Agriculture,
Aquatic and Natural Resources Research and Development (DOST-PCAARRD)
 Technical Education and Skills Development Authority (TESDA)
 Department of Trade and Industry Bureau of Small and Medium Enterprise (DTI-
SME)
 Cooperative Development Authority (CDA)
 Land Bank of the Philippines (LBP)
 Development Bank of the Philippines (DBP)
 Department of Public Works and Highways (DPWH) and
 Commission on Higher Education (CHED)

Inter-Agency program planning is a holistic approach in the formulation of the


development plan. With the consideration of existing and future programs of each Agency, there
will be alignment of programs to create one common direction for the industry’s development.
The plan was substantiated with the series of stakeholders fora conducted from the second
semester of 2020 until first quarter of 2021 (see Annex G). The programs crafted are also
aligned to the Provincial Commodity and Investment Plan and Provincial Development Plan of
the six (6) provinces.

4.3. PROGRAM TARGETS (2022-2026)

The programs crafted in the development are the strategies to achieve the goals and
objectives of the industry. The five-year development plan strategic programs, physical targets
and beneficiaries are shown in the Annexes. (See Annex A for the Physical Targets and
Financial Requirements, Annex B for the Target Sites and Beneficiaries and Annex C for the
Summary of Beneficiaries). The programs are viable to bring development in the regional
Agricultural economy (see Annex D). This plan encourages coconut farmers and other industry
stakeholders to look coconut farming on a better perspective.

4.3.1 SOCIAL PROTECTION

Coconut farmers are considered the poorest in the Agriculture sector. With many are
situated in the far-flung areas, they have little access to technologies and government services.
Coconut farming is vital in the economy since coconut products are on the top exports of the
country. However, for the past years the number of coconut farmers continues to decline with its
ageing population. The need to safeguard these primary players in the value-chain should be
one of the main considerations in crafting plans for the development of the industry.

Social protection as defined by the United Nation Research Institute for Social
Development. is the set of policies and programs concerned with preventing, managing and
overcoming situations that affect people’s well-being. Programs to be implemented under social
protection of our coconut farmers and their families are:
1. Crop Insurance
2. Scholarship
3. Health and Medical Program

4.3.1.1. CROP INSURANCE

Region VI is often visited by typhoons and droughts which affects the coconut production
of the region. Typhoon Yolanda is one of the devastating natural phenomena that hit Region 6
leaving an estimated 6.8 million coconut trees either partially or totally damage, 45.5 millions in
nut losses valued at PhP 174.96 M not to mention losses to life and other properties which
resulted to temporary and permanent loss of livelihood or income. Aside from that, there are
coconut pests and diseases that causes minimal to large damages and farm losses. These
uncertainties contribute to the vulnerability of the coconut farmers that leaves negative impact to
the coconut industry.

With the inevitable natural calamities, farm as the major source of living should be
protected. This is where insurance emanates, to reduce the effects of particular risks to life and
properties. Crop Insurance indemnifies the insured coconut farmers against farm losses. This
will address not only the welfare aspect of the after-loss event but also in achieving the objective
of stabilizing farm income and reverse the “risk-averse” nature of farmers and push them to
invest more in new technologies that would help increase productivity.

For five-year target (2022-2026), there will be a total of 10,679 hectares coconut areas to
be insured. These will cover from 2019 Participatory Coconut Planting Project onwards. The
target areas will be harmonize with the PCIC’s Registry System for Basic Sector in Agriculture
(RSBSA) data (See Annex A. Table 1 for the Physical Target).

27 | WESTERN VISAYAS COCONUT FARMERS AND INDUSTRY DEVELOPMENT PLAN


4.3.1.2. SCHOLARSHIP

Agriculture is becoming less popular profession to the current generation. Every year,
the number of students taking up Agriculture-related courses is getting smaller. The country is in
need of Agriculture graduates to manage the Agriculture industry. On the other hand, the ageing
and declining number of coconut farmers is becoming alarming with the food security of the
country at stake. The increasing population each year means parallel increase in food
consumption.

Moreover, mostly of our small coconut farmers cannot send their sons/daughters in the
tertiary level. Scholarship program for coconut farmers’ family members is one way to alleviate
the family from poverty. This program will aid the Agriculture industry by creating Agriculture-
professionals and help underprivileged but deserving coconut farmers’ family members to
become future pillars of the Agriculture.

Scholarship program will cover bachelor’s degree and vocational courses in Agriculture
which may include National Certification in Agriculture or informal farming courses for
Agricultural Technicians. The five-year plan incorporates 300 scholars, at 10 scholars per
province per year for PhP 135,000,000.00 total indicative investments (See Annex A. Table 2)

Qualification:
 Must be a coconut farmer or a family member

Course Preference:
 Agriculture-related courses

4.3.1.3. HEALTH AND MEDICAL PROGRAM

Majority of the coconut farmers are already in senility and with their meager income (as
stated in Chapter 2) they can’t afford health check-ups and medications. In addition, farming
livelihood is prone to accidents and many of our farmers are still non-PhilHealth members. That
is why, Health and Medical Program is a must for the coconut farmers and their families. This is
one way of protecting the most vulnerable but important sector of the industry. For five years the
total indicative investment for all the registered coconut farmers (237,393) is PhP
712,179,000.00 (see Annex A. Table 3).

How to Qualify?
 Must be a registered coconut farmer or his/her beneficiary

4.3.2. ORGANIZING AND EMPOWERMENT OF FARMERS’


ORGANIZATIONS

Community organizing and development is one of the roles in extension services.


Through organization there is a high level of public engagement thus, there is ease in
information dissemination, conducting trainings and community awareness on program
implementation. Also, this can develop community leaders, establish accountability and develop
cooperation and unity among the sectors in the community.

28 | WESTERN VISAYAS COCONUT FARMERS AND INDUSTRY DEVELOPMENT PLAN


Coconut farmers’ organizations became the channel in efficient delivery of services.
However, many farmers’ organizations become inactive or defunct over a period of time. In
December 2020 the number of active SCFOs/Coops in the region decreases by 6.5% from
1,068 in December 2019. This is due to lack of economic activity, weak organizational structure,
less member participation and a lot more. That is why it is necessary to capacitate the
organizations through institutional capability trainings to enhance management and planning for
organizational development, business management trainings to prepare them to venture into
different coconut enterprises, various skills and technology trainings and also trainings for
values formation and mindset transformation for coconut farmers and young generation to look
deeper on the potential of coconut and the importance of coconut industry in the Agricultural
economy of the country. Trainings for coconut farmers’ organizations are categorized based on
the following:
o Capacity Building
o Business Management
o Skills Training
o Coconut Agro-Technology Training

4.3.2.1. CAPACITY BUILDING TRAINING

Conduct of Capacity Building Trainings to strengthen and capacitate Coconut–based


Organizations (CBOs), for five years there will be series of trainings, a total of 84 modules with

4.3.2.4. COCONUT AGRO-TECHNOLOGY TRAINING

With the decreasing number of PCA extension workers, there is a need to train farmers
which will be considered as barefoot technicians to augment extension services in the field.
They will be considered after as professional farmers who can become trainers for their fellow
on the organization. For five years the region will have 10 modules of training with indicative
budget of PhP 1, 500,000.00 intended for 300 farmers coming from different CBOs. (See Annex
A. Table 7)

30 | WESTERN VISAYAS COCONUT FARMERS AND INDUSTRY DEVELOPMENT PLAN


4.3.3. HYBRIDIZATION

Hybrids are inter-varietal crosses between two morphological forms of coconut trees.
The hybrid crosses between dwarf and tall varieties have exhibited marked hybrid vigour by
having the advantages found in both palms. As such, hybrid coconut trees are resistant to
environmental stress, including drought and diseases. Hybrids also are high-yielding and are
more superior in terms of quality and quantity of copra compared to tall and dwarf varieties.

Hybridization aims to mass produce PCA recommended single cross (F1) hybrids using
Assisted Pollination (AP) technique. This is done by identifying contiguous areas planted to
OPV dwarf varieties (mother plant). For the year 2020, targets of the Region for hybrid planting
has been sourced out from Loay, Bohol and it entails high transport cost and stress to coconuts.
With the declining nut production due to existing low producing varieties, establishment of
hybrid farms in the region will address these issues.

Hybrids are early bearing varieties; they start to flower in 3 to 4.5 years and produces
harvestable nuts within 4 to 5 years. Its nut size ranges from medium to large and copra/nut of
237 to 310 grams. One (1) hectare of coconut farm planted with hybrid can produce 15,000 to
22,000 nuts or 4 to 6 tons of copra which is thrice the production of the existing varieties.

Hybridization Activities:
 Mother palm establishment/preparation
 Pollen collection and processing
 Assisted Pollination
 Hybrid seed nut selection, culling and dispersal

ECONOMIC BENEFITS/IMPACTS
 Increase Farm Productivity
 Access to quality planting materials for planting and replanting
 Increase income of coconut farmers

There are 5 target sites for the hybridization program with the total area of 57 hectares.
Total indicative investment for five years is PhP 28,500,000.00 (see Annex A. Table 8).

4.3.4. COCONUT-BASED FARMING SYSTEMS

The low productivity and low copra price triggered the unstable and depressive socio-
economic condition of the coconut farming households. Unpredictable movement of copra price
will not create a depressing situation if there are fall backs that will augment income from
coconut farming. Improving the Coconut-Based Farming Systems is the key to recuperate from
the current condition of the coconut farmers/households in rural communities.

Crop diversification in coconut farms is a well-studied strategy and battle cry of most
development and poverty reduction programs. Also, there is a need to provide appropriate
technologies, cropping patterns, water and nutrient management, changes in the traditional
practices and provision of post harvest and farm level processing. Integration of intercropping
and livestock are immediate source of income that will enhance the farm income sourcing with
the innovative participation of the coconut farming communities. This will spur the awareness of
the production sector in a reliable and sustainable source of farm income through intercropping

31 | WESTERN VISAYAS COCONUT FARMERS AND INDUSTRY DEVELOPMENT PLAN


and animal integration and at same time providing the needed support in maintaining their
interest in taking care of the coconuts.

4.3.4.1. INTEGRATED COCONUT FARM DEVELOPMENT PROJECT

Majority of coconut farmers (landowner-tiller, tenants) own a farmland between 0.5 to


1.50 hectares only practiced in subsistence farming. Most of them are lack of entrepreneurial
knowledge to venture into business and seek appropriate financial institutions to finance the
needed post harvest facilities and capitalization and are highly dependent to usurers and traders
who take advantage of the situation. The lack of entrepreneurial and managerial skills, agro-
industrial technologies and skilled manpower incur higher overhead cost in terms of
administrative, operation and marketing.

Pursuant to One-DA strategies to increase productivity and income such expansion of


farm clustering of Bayanihan Agri-Clusters (BACs), upgrading of post-harvest, processing,
logistics and marketing support and mobilization and empowerment of partners.

This project aims to consolidate 30 hectares of coconut farm to one common coconut
production area and marketing, to establish an integrated processing facility with production
support and engage farmers-consolidators in coconut enterprise development and agri-tourism.
There are two (2) identified sites for the project at 30 hectares per site. This project will incur a
total of PhP 20,000,000.00 indicative investment for five years (see Annex A. Table 9).

4.3.4.2. COMPACT FARM DEVELOPMENT PROJECT

Compact Farm Development Project such as Kalubihan sa Kapunungan (coastal areas)


and Kalubihan sa Kamaisan (upland areas) is another coconut planting scheme to increase
coconut population in vacant but coconut suitable areas.

The coastal portions of the municipalities of Pontevedra, Panay, President Roxas, Pilar,
Sapian and Ivisan have lengths of fishponds. These areas are suitable for planting of coconuts
because of its saline water. The presence of chlorine in the soil found in these areas is good for
coconut.

On the other hand, upland areas of Dumalag, Maayon, Cuartero, Dumarao, Panitan and
Pilar are often planted to corn which are often monocropped. Planting of coconut on these areas
will help mitigate land denudation, prevent soil erosion, increase coconut population and
maximize land utilization.

Compact Farm Development Project will serve as additional raw material support to
different coconut processing facilities in Capiz and its neighboring provinces. These compact
farms have a tota area of 510 hectares for PhP 47,003,000.00 five-year indicative investment
(see Annex A. Table 10).

4.3.4.3. ORGANIC FARM DEVELOPMENT PROJECT

Nowadays, organic products have an increasing demand and it commands higher price.
Organically-grown produce are potential for exports because of the growing health-conscious
population. Organic Farm Development Project is the way to encourage coconut farmers’
organizations to practice organic farming. Organic certified organizations will have the

32 | WESTERN VISAYAS COCONUT FARMERS AND INDUSTRY DEVELOPMENT PLAN


opportunity to recognize compliant organizations by becoming third party certifying body for the
issuance of organic certification. For initial sites, two have been identified (one in Iloilo and one
in Negros Occidental) at 1 million per site per year for a total of PhP 10,000,000.00 indicative
investment for five years (see Annex A. Table 11).

4.3.4.4. SEED FARM DEVELOPMENT PROJECT

Establishment of seed farms for early bearing and potential OPV dwarf varieties is one
way of increasing farm production. Seed Farms will serve as the source of raw materials for
planting and replanting programs to replace senile and local tall varieties. Setting up of seed
farms in each province will give easy access to all coconut farmers to good quality coconut
seedlings. There have been 4 target sites for the establishment of seed farms in the region, for a
total of 30 hectares at PhP 5,630,000.00 five-year indicative investment (see Annex A. Table
12).

4.3.4.5. INTERCROPPING

Intercropping of high value crops such as cacao, coffee and banana in coconut areas to
maximize farm productivity and increase income. This also will serve as cash crop and to
ensure food security. Intercrops may vary depending on farm suitability; preferred intercrops in
the region are coffee, cacao, ginger, banana and vegetables. This is also to support raw
materials source to local processing facility like cacao and coffee. A total of 2,830 hectares are
to be intercropped with various high value intercrops at PhP 17,688,000.00 estimated budget for
five years (see Annex A. Table 13).

4.3.4.6. ANIMAL INTEGRATION

Animal Integration is one of the means to maximize land utilization and increase farm
productivity and farmers income. It also aims for food security in the region and support to local
tourist destinations. This involves rearing of large ruminants, small ruminants for dairy and meat
purposes and poultry. Livestock are either for fattening or milk purposes and a free range and
egg production (layers) for the poultry. The target is given to every organization in a module (set
of male and female). For large ruminants there are 170 modules, each module comprises of 1
male and 4 female; for small ruminants a total of 300 modules (1 male and 11 female per
module) and 300 modules for poultry (10 male and 40 female per module) for a total five-year
investment of PhP 67,500,000.00 (see Annex A. Table 14).

4.3.5. SHARED FACILITIES

The Authority aims to develop community-based organizations and had been


implementing for several years different Community Enterprise Projects, these falls under the
KAANIB Enterprise Development Project, Coconut Hub Project, Coconut-Carabao Development
Project and the Convergence in Coconut Farming Communities towards Rural Enterprise
Development Project- VCO Processing Facility.

These projects aim to empower the Coconut Farmers Organizations/Cooperative and


venture into business of coconuts and other products in the coconut farm to improve their

33 | WESTERN VISAYAS COCONUT FARMERS AND INDUSTRY DEVELOPMENT PLAN


economic status. By doing so, we are transforming the coconut farmers to become
cocopreneurs and treat coconut farming as a business.Coconut farming must become a viable
income-generating activity capable of supporting farmers’ needs and meeting market demands.
More community-based enterprises mean more economic activities that will help boosts the
industry.

Projects under shared facilities such as Coconut Hub Project, Direct Copra Marketing,
Buko Processing and KEDP Processing, Farm mechanization and Farm Services include
provision of building, equipment and logistical support and manpower services.

In addition, toll crushing/processing of products can be a potential business to these


facilities. Some household-level/micro scale processing can utilize the facility to do major
processing of their products.

With the establishment of different processing facilities, there should also be


development of local fabrication to address needs for machineries and equipment.

4.3.5.1. COCONUT HUB PROJECT

Low farm productivity is one of the major problems in the coconut industry. Low yield is
aggravated by low prices and lack of value added products which consequently result in low
income of the coconut farming sector and making them vulnerable to the manipulation and
control of traders and local financiers.

Within this context, the Coconut Hub Project emerges as a way forward for the coconut
farmers to improve their lives. The Project pursues agro-industrial strategy with the end in view
of addressing the problem and challenges faced by the coconut farming sector such as lack of
appropriate infrastructure, inadequacy of capital, lack of entrepreneurial environment, lack of
access to appropriate technologies and other enabling policies and support mechanism that
prevent them from achieving high productivity and economic empowerment.

The objective of the project is to establish coconut processing facility, encourage


consolidation of farm products for sustainable raw material supply, produce high-value coconut
products and by-products, engage coconut farmers association/cooperative for coconut
enterprise development, create convergence among National Government Agencies and
stakeholders and generate local employment.

Five year target for the hub is eight (8) sites with proposed location strategically located
throughout the region for PhP 150,000,000.00 total indicative investment for five years (see
Annex A. Table 15).

4.3.5.2. DIRECT COCONUT MARKETING PROJECT

The coconut oil is the country’s biggest traditional export. To date, coconut oil export
maintained its leadership in the global market. In 2017, exports volume of coconut oil amounted
to 911,392 MT with a value of USD 1.4 billion, the highest among the country’s agricultural
exports. This industry therefore is the leader among the coconut-based industries involving the
largest number of coconut farmers, on-farm workers, and plant workers. It provides raw
materials to related upstream and downstream industries such as coir, activated carbon,
coconut water and oleo-chemicals.

34 | WESTERN VISAYAS COCONUT FARMERS AND INDUSTRY DEVELOPMENT PLAN


However, the industry’s competitiveness is low due to low coconut farms productivity
and low quality of copra. The production of quality copra being the main raw materials in oil
production has been a sustained challenge. Among the major factors that hindered coconut
farmers to produce and trade quality copra are: small sizes of coconut farms; decreasing
number of skilled farm workers to perform timely operation and farm maintenance works;
unorganized /unsynchronized harvesting, and being tied up to traders/financiers because of
cash advances due to low income resulting from low buying prices and production volume.

In the last 30 years, several interventions were provided to improve copra quality such
as catchment area production and direct copra marketing which were generally not sustained
due to some gaps:

1. Good quality copra produced and traded to oil mills were not sufficient to process a
batch so that the oil mills were forced to mix good with bad copra thereby rendering
useless the production of quality copra. Using good quality copra will produce cochin
quality oil at lower cost of production;
2. Due to the above, the oil mills were not willing to give premium or incentives for
quality copra because the volume of quality copra produced were not substantial to
significantly result in quality copra meal and oil which supposedly reduced
processing costs;
3. AO 002 series of 2003 was not favorable for coconut farmers because the penalties
for copra deterioration upon long storage in oil mill warehouses (particularly free fatty
acid contents) were shouldered by the coconut farmers by way of deduction;
4. Interventions were focused on assisting coconut farmers in terms of training and
dryer provision , neglecting the need to monitor and regulate the traders to comply
with standards despite the research results that copra deterioration happen at the
traders and that a piece of cup-size bad copra can contaminate a truckload;
5. PCA dryer design provided was not adoptive to the need of the small coconut farmers
which required a service area of 40 hectares;
6. Good Agricultural Practices (GAP), Food Safety, Fair Trade and other trade related
certification systems were not yet in place nor required which allowed the oil millers
to be just complacent in quality improvement. The traders (including farmer
cooperatives) did not have re-drying and warehousing facilities to ensure quality and
moisture determination was perceived as time-consuming and also unreliable in some
cases.

Therefore it is necessary to change strategy and re-design PCA’s and other


stakeholders’ or enablers’ interventions to provide the necessary logistics support, i.e., secure
provision for timely and organized farm operation and maintenance works, hauling of coconuts
to a designated or centralized processing area, coordinated consolidated/ synchronized
processing, consolidated warehousing and delivery to oil mills. Such interventions will be done
following these steps:

a) Identification of a partner oil mill as anchor firm to absorb buy and process the quality
copra produced and willing to share with farmers the savings on processing costs in
terms of premium pricing and other forms of benefits.
b) Based on the computed copra volume requirement, identify a cluster of coconut farmers
who would produce the volume and quality of copra required.
c) Organize the sequence & schedule of farm operations, i.e., harvesting, copra processing
and delivery to oil mills.
d) Provide the needed logistics support to each supply chain actor: appropriate dryers,
tractors and trucks for hauling, warehouse to store quality copra and volume and quality-
based incentive system.

35 | WESTERN VISAYAS COCONUT FARMERS AND INDUSTRY DEVELOPMENT PLAN


e) Provide support for adequate moisture testers in strategic locations for fast and reliable
moisture content determination.

The system would involve a shift from an unsynchronized and poor quality copra
production and marketing with local traders/financiers to a synchronized production and
marketing of good quality copra to a partner oil mill. It will allow the coconut farmers to gain
control over their farm operations from traders. Long term increase in income will be derived
from additional prices of selling coconuts and copra that used to be profits of traders and a
pay-back incentive from oil millers as share of the savings on processing cost derived from
good quality copra. A total of 13 sites that will be considered as consolidator and processor will
be established in the region for a total investment of PhP 86,000,000.00 (see Annex A. Table
16).

4.3.5.3. BUKO PROCESSING PROJECT

Young coconuts or buko are nuts aged 6-9 months often harvested for its water as
refreshing beverage and its meat in creating different types of desserts like buko salad, buko
pie, bukayo and a lot more.

Coconut water is dubbed as “Mother Nature’s sports drink”. The coconut water can be
used as a high electrolyte beverage with low-medium glycemic index (54 ± 4) for hydration
purposes (PCA, Development of a High Electrolyte, Low Glycemic Index Coco Water Drink
2011). The primary minerals or electrolytes in coconut water are essentially the same as those
found in human blood. Thus, doctors have used it as an intravenous fluid for rehydration,
injecting it directly into the patient’s blood stream.

Coconut water has a normalizing effect and gives the body a boost of energy to
overcome a number of health-related conditions. It is effective in relieving dehydration, fatigue,
constipation, and other digestive disturbances, kidney and bladder disorders. It also has
alkalizing effect on the body, helping to counteract or balance the effects of acidifying foods
which are so common in our diets.
The objectives of this project is to establish buko processing facility, introduce value-
addition in the processing of young coconuts both meat and water, encourage more people to
drink coconut water and be aware of its many health benefit. Also this may create employment
in the community, increase farmers’ income and empower coconut based organization. This
project will be established in Pontevedra, Capiz for a total investment of PhP 6,200,000.00 (see
Annex A. Table 17).

ECONOMIC BENEFITS/IMPACTS:
 Develop economic enterprise in buko processing
 Create employment in the community
 Increase coconut farmers income
 Support tourism industry
 Promote health benefits of buko
 Proper handling and product standardization

4.3.5.4. KEDP PROCESSING FACILITY

KAANIB Enterprise Development Project (KEDP) aims to promote and institutionalize


coconut-baesd enterprises through an integrated resource-service convergence approach to

36 | WESTERN VISAYAS COCONUT FARMERS AND INDUSTRY DEVELOPMENT PLAN


increase farm productivity and income of the small coconut farming communities. One
component of the KEDP is the Community/Household-Level Coconut Processing Project
(CHLCPP), a project which aims to develop village-level processing for food and non-food
coconut products.

The CHLCPP sites for Virgin Coconut Oil, Coconut Sugar, Coconut Coir and other allied
products does not have a GMP-compliant facility which is one of the requirement in obtaining
license certification. To resolve the prevailing problem of the organizations, a compliant facility
will be provided. A total of 28 sites for PhP 56,000,000.00 investment will be included in the
shared facilities (see Annex A. Table 18).

4.3.5.5. FARM MECHANIZATION

To enhance on-farm and off-farm operations, the right machineries and equipment is a
must. Provision of coconut farm tools like 8,000 dehusker, 8,000 mechanical climber at the
same time 275 improved dryers will improve efficiency of operations for a total of 16,275 units at
PhP 201,500,000.00 five-year indicative investment (see Annex A. Table 19).

4.3.5.6. FARM SERVICE CREW

To professionalize coconut farm workers into a farm service crew, that will be provided
with decent income, and elevate their status as skilled workers qualified for SSS and other
social benefits.

Services Offered:
 Harvesting, dehusking and transport of nuts to roadside
 Regular farm maintenance services such as weeding and clearing of undergrowth,
fertilization/mulching, removal of dried/diseased fronds, land preparation for
intercrops
 Service 2 ½ hectares/day, harvesting about 2100 nuts per day
 Special skills- harvesting at right maturity e.g., for copra and whole nuts for VCO
or DCN

Investment for the project will include logistical support and tools for farm
operations such as orchard tractor, truck, carts, farm tools, etc. for 1.815 million pesos
and tractor shed amounting to 0.30 million pesos, total investment cost is 2.115 Million
pesos per site. This will be provided to 42 processing sites all throughout the region for
a total of PhP 88,830,000.00 estimated financial requirement (see Annex A. Table 20).

4.3.6. RESEARCH, MARKETING AND PROMOTION

To boost the coconut industry, we need additional research to improve production,


processing and marketing. Conduct of marketing strategies and product promotion for possible
investment and market matching.

Coconut is called the “Tree of Life” because it can provide all the basic needs of human
in order to live. There are countless possibilities by which it can be utilized for food and non-food
products. Other coconut parts that commonly become agricultural wastes needs to be explore

37 | WESTERN VISAYAS COCONUT FARMERS AND INDUSTRY DEVELOPMENT PLAN


and develop. Coconut shell, fronds, lumber, leaves and husk have high potential as materials
for other non-food products like novelty items. The opportunity for utilization and development of
value-added products in coconut is never ending.

4.3.6.1. TRADES AND INVESTMENT FORA

Conduct of Trades and Investment Forum provides platform for engagement and
investment to create sustainable development. It facilitates policy dialogue among stakeholders,
raising issues and concerns on enhancing services and creating long-term solutions. This will
serve also as venue to gather public and private sectors commitment for the development of the
coconut industry. For five years a total of 40 fora will be conducted, one (1) per province and 2
regional fora annually. This has a financial requirement of PhP 2,000,000.00 (see Annex A.
Table 21).

4.3.6.2. TRADE FAIRS

Promotion is essential to access market and expands product reach, the conduct of
Trade Fairs raise profiles of enterprises. This will generate awareness and open opportunities
to MSMEs for market opportunities. Through trade fairs, locally-produced products will be
showcase; at the same time this will open opportunities to meet industry partners and
customers and examine market trends. Annually there will be one provincial trade fair and 2
regional trade fairs. For five years a total of 40 trade fairs will be conducted for PhP
6,000,000.00 (see Annex A. Table 22).

4.3.6.3. RESEARCH AND DEVELOPMENT

To achieve industry growth, Research and Development must be taken into


consideration. Through research, new products will be conceptualize and develop to suit
society’s needs. Research spurs innovation, industry growth and investment opportunities.
Research activities on food and non-food coconut products can be tie up with State Universities
and Colleges within the Region. Every year two (2) researches (food and non-food) will be given
an estimated budget of one million pesos per research. A total of PhP 10,000,000.00 for five
years equivalent to 10 research activities is already a big contribution to the industry’s
development. (See Annex A. Table 23)

at low interest rate for coconut farming, processing and trading activities and for micro lending
or as condonement, amnesty or restructuring of delinquent agri-loans. A total of 51 processing
facilities needs working capital for start-up and business expansion, this needs an indicative
investment of PhP 60,000,000.00(see Annex A. Table 24).

4.3.8. INFRASTRUCTURE DEVELOPMENT

Infrastructure development are construction of different foundational services like farm to


market roads, trading posts and multi-purpose centers for the efficient delivery of goods and
services and improves productivity in the coconut farming communities.

4.3.8.1. FARM TO MARKET ROADS

Most of the coconut farms don’t have good all-weather roads. The difficulty in bringing
coconut products down to the market is the reason why farmers usually sell their product in
copra. By bringing only the coconut meat from their farm, they can have less hauling expenses
leaving behind other coconut parts like husk, shell and water. But by doing so, they are limiting
their income on copra alone.

Construction of FMRs will link production areas to markets and retain freshness of farm
produce. Area identification is with preference for coconut producing areas and processing
facilities. This is also in accordance with the Republic Act No. 8435 otherwise known as the
“Agriculture and Fishery Modernization Act of 1997 or AFMA” mandated the construction and
upgrading of Farm-to-Market Roads (FMR) as one of the priority infrastructure intervention with
significant impact in increasing agricultural productivity and reducing losses. FMR target for five
years is 61.7 kilometers for PhP 925,000,000.00. (See Annex A. Table 25)
ECONOMIC BENEFITS/IMPACTS:
 Provides better access to market
 Maintain product quality, better prices
 Increase income of coconut farmers due to lesser transportation cost
 Access to other development opportunities

4.3.8.2. TRADING POSTS

Trading post allows people from one geographic area to trade in and consolidate farm
produce. This will be the center of economic activities in the community. For a total of PhP
12,000,000.00, 12 trading posts will be established that will serve as consolidation point of
different farm products (see Annex A. Table 26).

4.3.8.3. MULTI-PURPOSE CENTERS

Multi-purpose Centers will serve as the common service point in far-flung cocal areas.
These Multipurpose Centers is for medical, educational or training venue for our coconut
farmers and their families. Each province has a target of one (1) multi-purpose center for a total
of PhP 12,000,000.00 indicative financial requirement (see Annex A. Table 27).

Memorandum of Agreement/Understanding of the involved Agencies. Simultaneously, the initial
criteria (see Annex E) for different program interventions will be finalize by the involved
Agencies and LGUs. The said entities will craft the necessary measures to deliver all the
interventions deserved by the coconut farmers.

Coconut farming is a sustainable and viable business. This industry transformation


presses the conversion of coconut farmers from being the raw material supplier to becoming
cocopreneurs. In the pursuit of industry development, all interventions for the development of
the coconut industry will be assess as to its impact in the coconut farming families. In the
program evaluation, assessment of the over-all socio-economic impact, pre-project and post-
project assessment, baseline survey, increase income assessment, job generation, increase in
production will be conducted. Regular monitoring and feedback mechanism will also be used to
collect ideas for better programs and services in the future.

CHAPTER 7

PROGRAM
MANAGEMENT

46 | WESTERN VISAYAS COCONUT FARMERS AND INDUSTRY DEVELOPMENT PLAN


6.1. REGIONAL COORDINATION

Regional Coordination involves regular inter-agency meetings with different National


Government Agencies’ regional offices to harmonize plans for the Regional Coconut Farmers
and Industry Development Plan. These agencies will serve as catalyst, facilitator and enabler to
develop more strategic and focused plans in pursuit of long term coconut industry development.

Other activities for Regional Coordination are selection of farmers’ representative to the
PCA Board, regional and provincial stakeholders’ fora, Regional Development Council,
Regional Management Committee Meetings and DTI Regional Coconut Cluster.

6.2. IMPLEMENTATION MECHANISM

To implement the programs indicated in the CFIDP, a list of coconut farmers that will be
the recipients of these programs is needed. The National Coconut Farmers Registry System
(NCFRS) serves as a tool to ensure effective and efficient planning, delivery and monitoring of
developmental programs and proper allocation and prioritization of government resources.

The NCFRS is done through a national survey and complete enumeration or listing of
landowners, tenants, leaseholders and farm workers through the NCFRS Enrollment Form (see
Annex F). Coconut farmers listed in the NCFRS with not more than five (5) hectares coconut
farm will be the recipients of various programs indicated in the CFIDP to ensure that the
programs will benefit the poor and marginalized as stated in the policy of RA 11524.

The Local Government Units (LGUs) play a significant role in the implementation the
programs. Initially, they have been part in rolling out the registration and validation of the
NCFRS and ensuring that no coconut farmer will be left behind through the continuing
enrollment.

CONVERGENCE APPROACH

Using the Convergence approach is one of the transformation strategies to


harness inclusive growth and development on different sector of the coconut industry.
This is done through coordination with different National Government Agencies, Local
Government Units and State Universities/Colleges including private sectors to create
greater community impact. Program implementation, monitoring and evaluation will be
done in collaborative efforts to deliver goods and services to achieve secured and
developed industry with empowered coconut farmers.

MANDANAS RULING

The most salient feature of the Mandanas Ruling is the increase in the national revenue
share of the Local Government Units (not limited to national internal revenue taxes collected by
the Bureau of Internal Revenue but includes collections (customs duties) by the Bureau of
Customs). This is expected to increase the IRA of LGUs to P234.4 billion in 2022, significantly
boosting the delivery of devolved functions.

The LGUs will play a vital role in the implementation and monitoring of the programs
crafted in the CFIDP. Termed as “full devolution,” the ruling mandates that devolved functions
must be permanently taken out from national government agencies, and empowers LGUs to

47 | WESTERN VISAYAS COCONUT FARMERS AND INDUSTRY DEVELOPMENT PLAN


assume these. This was anchored on the premise that LGUs are in a better position to address
the needs of their constituents and can therefore deliver better services.

TESTING CENTER FOR PRODUCT QUALITY

Development of coconut products will be advance by the presence of Testing Centers


within the Region. This can be done through collaboration with the Department of Science and
Technology and State Universities like West Visayas State University in Iloilo and Central
Philippine State University in Negros Occidental.

equivalent manpower requirement for efficient implementation and monitoring. PCA Region VI
needs additional 21 CDOs for a budgetary requirement of 36,798,300 (salaries and travelling
expenses).

REGIONAL PARTNER AGENCIES’ COMMITMENT

The Regional Coconut Farmers and Industry Development Plan is the output of several
stakeholders’ consultations in the region involving various concerns. Such concerns were
properly addressed by the development interventions from partner agencies both under the
CFIDP and Agency’s locally funded projects.
