Abstract

The coconut plays a vital part in the culture and economy of Solomon Islands. Not only is it the main source of income to the majority of smallholders in the country it is also an important ‑ food. The Government has recently carried out a survey of the smallholde­r coconut sector which has produced valuable baseline data high government is basing a development programme. Whilst a replanting programme is not envisaged farmers will encouraged through demonstrations based on research findings crease the output from the existing resource to improve rural and national incomes and to ensure a continuing supply of this food for the increasing population.

Abstract

This paper briefly outlines several important characteristics of the coconut sector in Sri Lanka and provides a theoretical rationale for state intervention in terms of a special smallholder development strategy in the coconut sector. It points out that the current geneml development strategy of the Ministry of Coconut Industries which relies heavily on provision of development subsidies for selected capital development activities is inadequate to deal with the development problems confronted by the sector in geneml and particularly by the resource‑poor smallholders. Finally, a two‑tier development strategy is proposed for the sector with heavy focus on the smallholders with a poor resource base.

Abstract

Among the tall and dwarf varieties of coconut as well as the hybrids between them, occasionally one comes across hermaphro­dite or bisexual flowers. Some indNridual palms produce a high percentage of hermaphrodite flowers while a great majority of others do not produce any bisexual flower at all. There is clear evidence that coconut flowers at the primordial stage are bisexual with the potential. to develop both stamens and pistils in the same flower. But at a later stage of development, one grows into a female flower whose male organs are reduced to a ring of six staminodes. Another develops into a staminate flower whose pistils are reduced to three pistillodes. However, due to genetic, ecological, physiological or other factors, some unisexual. flowers show an atavistic display of hermaphroditisin. Bisexual flowers are observed among tall. and dwarf variety palms. The negligible percent­age of bisexual flowers that occur in large estates where the fruits are not used as seeds has no major disadvantage. But in seed gardens, especially where inter‑varietal hybrid seeds are produced, hermaphrodite flowers are capable of reducing the percentage of true hybrids. Timely removal of hermaphrodite flowers, therefore, would reduce the occurrence of undesirable true‑to‑mother type progeny and enhance the success of intervarietal hybridization.

Abstract

Coconut Seed Gardens are necessary for the mass production of improved coconut cultivars.They will play a dominant role in dvelopment programmes until tissue culture creates new plants. Models of seed gardens developed in Sri Lanka, Indonesia and Ivory Coast are outlined. The differences between them with regard to structure and management are enumerated.

Abstract

This article was written with two goals. The first is to show that coconut milk is an important product, at least to those in­ volved in the production of coconuts. The second is to suggest how the market for preserved coconut milk might be expanded. We will first review how coconut milk is consumed, for what purposes and in what quantity. Next we will look at the diffe­rent kinds of preserved coconut milk. Finally, we will consider how the market for preserved coconut milk might be bolstered by standardizing its quality.

Abstract

Analytical studies on the supply response of growers in the major crop sectors in Papua New Guinea (PNG) are scarce. For this reason, De Silva, Kiele and Lagap (DKL, 1987) must be congratulated for their pioneering attempt at analysing the pro­duction response to changes in prices in the coconut sector of the country. However, in their analysis there are several short‑comings of a methodological and empirical nature. The purpose of this note is to highlight these shortcomings and offer altemative estima­tions and interpretations about the nature of production response to price changes in the coconut sector.

Abstract

The coconut palm is one of the versatile products of nature. Almost all parts of the tree are put to use by man. The uses of coconut kernel, shell, husk, trunk, leaves, sap etc., are well known and are therefore not described here. In this paper only one aspect of utilisation of coconut namely coconut fibre or coir for production of rubberised fibre is discussed in some detail. In major coconut producing areas more attention is given to utilisation of coconut kernel as this represents the most valuable portion of the coconut tree. It is therefore quite natural that most people con­cemed with coconut production and processing are less familiar with the by‑products of coconut. One such by‑product is rubber­ised coir which is a relatively capital intensive industry. In terms of "value addition" the production of rubberised coir is one of the top industries in the coconut and by‑product industries. This paper is an introduction to some aspects of rubberised coir.

Abstract

This study was conducted to investigate the effects of six co­conut cropping patterns on the soil properties and nutrient element status of coconut leaves. The experiments were carried out from August 1984 to May 1985 in Silang, Cavite, Philippines. Data on‑soil properties and nutrient element starus of coconut leaves were statistically analyzed in Randomized Block Design with three replications. Six cropping patterns in coconut with four species of perennial crops as intercrops, namely: banana, papaya, coffee and pineapple were used in this study. The organic matter, pH and cation exchange capacity of the soils did not differ significantly with cropping pattern although intensively cropped farms tended to have higher organic matter' and cation exchange capacity values. Nitrogen, phosphorus and potassium in the top soil were significantly higher in most intensive intercropped farms, but calcium and magnesium did not vary significantly. Moisture content, waterholding capacity, bulk density and particle density of the soil did not show significant difference with cropping patterns. Likewise, the number of bacteria, fungi and actinomycetes in the soil remained statistically the same. Leaf nitrogen and calcium, in­creased while potassium decreased with intensity of cropping. Phosphorus and magnesium showed no definite trend.
A POLICY PERSPECTIVE ON COCONUT PROCESSING IN THE SOUTH PACIFIC ISLANDS Dan M. Etherington

Abstract

For many island nations of the South Pacific the coconut palm is the most important smallholder tree crop. Most attempts to introduce processing; beyond the copra stage have failed. At the same time there is a declining trend in copra prices. Unlike most other major coconut producing countries (Philippines, India, Indonesia, Sri Lanka, and Thailand), the South Pacific nations do not have significant expanding domestic urban markets. As a result they must look to alternative export markets and direct output to higher income, non‑traditional market niches. This paper, part of an on‑going research project, presents arguments in favour of an export ‘demand‑pull’ strategy for the coconut industry based on a re‑examination of the coconut as a total resource rather than only as a source of a raw vegetable oil. The effective use of this resource requires that the fruit be proces­sed as a mature fresh nut and that all parts of the nut are used. The strategy implies a switch in research priorities, away from plant breeding and disease control towards processing, domestic and in­ternational shipping, energy policies and market development. Im­proved markets would in turn give renewed impetus to the conti­nuation of the excellent plant breeding work that has already been done.

Abstract

Three‑year observations made upto 1987 on coconut hybrid PB121 (Malayan Yellow Dwarf x West Affican Tall) planted at the Bangun Purba PTP VI Estate, North Sumatra in 1977 revealed a 9.5 percent infestation by bud‑rot disease. Bud‑rot is disastrous since it kills the only growing point of the plant, and until today no remedy has been found out other than uprooting and destroying the diseased palms. Exast cause of but‑rot is not known, even­though the fungus Phytophthora palmivora is associated with the affected palms. This disease is noticed exclusively on mature palms, older than four years, and is found to spread blockwise.
