Abstract

Research and development programs in agriculture and natu­ral resources are planned, monitored and evaluated by the Philippi­ne government through the Philippine Council for Agriculture and Resources Research and Development (PCARRD) in cooperation with the National Agriculture and Resources Research System (NARRS) and the private sector. Within the NARRS, the Philippine Coconut Authority (PCA) is the national center for coconut research.

Abstract

The coconut industry is under pressure from low world oil‑seed prices and the increased availability of palm kernels. This paper reviews market conditions in the lauric sub‑sector, describes the marketing channels for copra and coconut oil, and sets out details of significant issues for the future. It concludes that the industry must take urgent steps to (a) improve the flow of market information, (b) develop cost saving means of production which lead to a range of items, and (c) investigate new markets for non­-traditional products.
EXPORT FLOOR PRICES IN COCONUT PRODUCTS SRI LANKA EXPERIENCE R. MALIGASPE

Abstract

Export Floor Prices for Coconut Products appear to have been introduced in Sri Lanka initially in the late 1960s. Maximising of foreign exchange earnings and prevention of under‑invoicing by shippers especially under a tight trade and exchange system at that time and also possible expectation of higher proceeds to millers and coconut producers, appear to have been the main considerations when Export Floor Prices were introduced for most of these Products.
THE EFFECTS OF STEM BLEEDING DISEASE ON THE FLOWERING AND FRUIT SETTING OF COCONUT HYBRID PB 121 J. Brahmana

Abstract

Stem bleeding is one the common diseases of coconut in Indonesia. The severity of the disease varies considerably depend­ing on the cultivars, environmental. factors, and the occurence of mechanical. damage on the stem. Observation on the coconut hybrid PB 121 in the Bangun Purba estate PTP VI North Sumatra indicated that stem bleeding disease caused‑necrosis in the stem tissue but it did not kill the tree. Moreover, this disease had no negative effects in the flowering, fruiting and inflorescence formation of the coconut tree.

Abstract

Kiln dried coconut lumber with 16 percent average moisture content were subjected to five common wood working processes composed of planing, boring, shaping, turning and sanding. Tungsten carbide cutters were used in each process except in sanding where silicon no. 60 sandpaper was employed. The coconut lumber measuring 25 mm thick by 125 mm wide by 1.25 m long have density range of 200 to 900 kg. per cubic meter.

Abstract

Marine exposure tests of sawn coconut lumber were carried out for three years to determine the resistance, of treated coconut timber to marine borers. The test panels measuzing 50 mm x 100 mm x 450 mm, were installed in sea water between October, 1981 and September, 1984. Results showed three promising treatments. These were the vacuum/pressure method using chromated copper arsenate, the modifted double diffusion treatment employing mixture of copper adphate, sodium dichromate and arsenic pentoxide, and the hot and cold bath treatment with coal tar creosote. The specimens treated by these preservative systems showed trace or slight sur­face infestation while the untreated wood panels indicated from deep and extensive infestation to failure due to attack of marine borers. The perfomance of the treated medium density specimens appeared to be inferior than the hard samples indicating that only the latter materials should be used for marine structures.
ROOT ABSORPTION AS A METHOD OF INTRODUCING INSECUCIDES INTO COCONUT PALMS FOR THE CONTROL OF LEAF FEEDING CATERPILLARS Christa Ulin Ginting; R. Desmier de Chenon

Abstract

The root absorption technique has been shown to be very ef­fective method for the control of coconut leef feeding caterpillars. However, this method, in order to be effective, requires a good system for monitoring the population level of the pest and a well organized and coordinated pest control teams. Like the trunk injection method the root absorption tech­nique has also many advantages: high effectiveness, good distribu­tion of insecticides in the leaves, efficient, less harmful, long remanence does not affect the natural enen‑des, thus a good method to use for integrated pest control. Furthermore, unlike the trunk injection method, the root absorption technique utilizes the root, not the trunk, of the coconut palm for introducing the pesticide. Hence, not injurious to the tree as well.
A TECHNICAL AND ECONOMIC EVALUATION OF A SMALL SCALE COCONUT OIL EXPELLER OPERATION IN THE COOK ISLANDS J. C. Barrett T W. Hammonds; R. V. Harris

Abstract

Small‑scale processing of copra was demonstrated to be technically feasible and potentially very profitable in the Cook Islands using equipment comprising a copra chopper, a screw press and a filter press. At through‑puts close to 65 kg per hour, yields of cia­rified oil and copra cake were around 55 per cent and 40 per cent respectively, on a weight basis. A consumer survey indicated that coconut oil could be marketed as a cooking oil to substitute for imported vegetable oils; potential use in soap manufacture was also identified, while copra cake was readily marketed for animal feeding. For an initial establishment cost of just under NZS 100,000 the f‑mancial internal rate of return for investment in small‑scale copra processing in the Cook Islands, provided that all output can be marketed, is calculated as 49 per cent, which is very attractive. Prospects for the success of similarventures at locations elsewhere in the Pacific are promising.
ASPECTS OF COPRA PRODUCTION AND MARKETING IN VANUATU Martin R Fowler

Abstract

Coconuts occupy the largest area under any crop in Vanuatu and provide employment and incomes for the majority of the rural population; copra exports have provided far and away the most important source of foreign exchange earnings during most of the past one hundred years, and their position remains paramount. Copra exports also provide an important source of Go­vernment revenue; and. finally, coconuts are an important compo­nent of the national diet. Given the fundamental importance of the coconut subsector to the economic life of the country, a deeper understanding of its recent and projected evolution is essential for macro‑economic policy formulation.
PRODUCTION RESPONSE TO PRICES IN THE COCONUT INDUSTRY OF PAPUA NEW GUINEA N. T M. H. De Silva; L. J Kiele; A. F. Lagap

Abstract

Coconut is one of the first plantation crops of Papua New Guinea. In 1922‑23 coconut made up 90 percent of exports and in 1950 it contributed 69 percent of the export earnings (Sackett and Williamson, 1977). Area under the crop is about 265,000 hectares or 0.6 percent of the total land area in the country (Char­les, 1980, Turner, 1985). Relatively lower copra prices which prevailed especially in 1970s, the escalating cost of production coupled with Government policies aimed towards the diversifica­tion of country's export base have primarily resulted in copra becoming the 3rd(l) export earner of PNG. These changes never­theless have not given rise to any marked decline in the copra pro­duction. What seems to have occurred is that the value of exports from other tree crop industries have exceeded the export value of copra.
