Abstract

The Philippines has the largest planted area of coconuts in the world and this crop provides a significant amount of income and employment for smallholders and landless laborers. Nearly all of the coconut harvested is converted into copra for subsequent processing. The bulk of production is exported as crude coconut oil for industrial uses and copra cake for animal feed. Most of the rest goes into refined, edible oil for the domestic market. The industry is subject to major oscillations in supply and demand from year to year. Production is dominated by large‑scale firms currently operating at a low capacity use rate. Real prices may trend downward in the long run due to expanded production from an expansion in the planted area and greater reliance on high‑yield varieties, substitution of other oils, and trade policies of importing countries.

Abstract

In a number of coconut palm growing countries, thatched roofs made from indigenous materials such as palm leaves and from suitable tropical grasses such as Imperata cylindirca L. (Cogon) are traditionally used. The most suitable and durable among the palms appear to be the mature leaves of nipa palm. Depending on the quality of leaves and thickness of layers, the serviceable life span of thatched roof is approxi­malely 5 to 8 years, coconut palm leaves are one of the poorest materials for roofing of permanent dwelling. They easily become brittle when dry and break into bits during rain and wind.

Abstract

Coconut cultivation is generally a small‑holder enterprise. Production of nuts is low due to the various constraints faced by the farmers. Assuming that 20% of the area under cultivation in all the countries consist of non‑bearing palms and vacancies, the average production for the period 1984‑1988 was 4,900 nuts per hectare of bearing palms per year. If improved management practices arc carried out on the existing holdings, yield could be increased by at least 50 percent. But, they arc beyond the capacity of the farmers to implement.

Abstract

The following text is based on coconut breeding experience in Jamaica, Thailand and Papua New Guinea, as well as on working visits to many (but by no means all) coconut growing countries. The ideas expressed are those of the author, but they have benefited from an open exchange of views with coconut breeding colleagues, research workers, extension officers, agricultural economists and others. Perhaps coconut farmers themselves have not been fully consulted, but the reason for this will be explained in the concluding section. To some extent, this article is a statement of intent concerning future coconut breeding work, particularly where serious disease and difficult growing conditions require more to be done than simply the introduction and multiplication of F, hybrids.
WATER MANAGEMENT IN TIDAL SWAMPY AREAS FOR COCONUT CULTIVATION Edy Sigit Sutarta

Abstract

Coconut has been traditionally cultivated in tidal swampy areas by farmers for a long time. Coconut growth in this area needs a good water management system, besides fertilization. Flooding in this area not only retards coconut growth, but also reduces production. A water management system, mainly‑drainage has been used by farmers depend­ing on conditions of the area and farmer's abilities. Functions and types of water management system that have been used for coconut cultivation in tidal swampy areas are discussed.

Abstract

Stem bleeding of coconut caused by Thielaviopsis paradoxa (de Seynes) Von Hohnel is an important disease affecting coconut in many countries (Menon and Pandalai, 1958; Ohler, 1966, Nambiar and Sastry, 1988). lsolation of the pathogen from diseased tissues on different agar based media has given inconsistent results (Anon., 1976; Anon., 1986), None of the selective media reported for certain related fungi viz., T. basicola (Berk and Br.) Ferr. (David, 1978;Tsao and Bricker, 1966) and Ceratocystis wagnerii Goheen and Cobb (Hicks et al., 1980) proved useful for the isolation of T. paradoxa Since, standardization of an isolation method is a basic necessity for any study on plant pathogens, an attempt was made to improve upon existing methods.

Abstract

Coconut occupies about 410,000 ha of land in Sri Lanka, and is the largest plantation crop. The most important coconut growing area is called the "Coconut triangle" which comprises most of the districts of Puttalam. Colombo and Gampaha. Together, they account for nearly 70 per cent of the coconut lands. There are about 700,000 coconut growers, the majority of which are small‑holders. About 70‑75 per cent of the holdings are below 4 hectares.

Abstract

Based on the observations recorded for four years, at Kasaragod and Kayangulam, Kerala, India, on palms of ordinary tall variety, growing under rainfed conditions, appropriate prediction equations have been proposed to estimate the annual yield of coconuts, at selected periods of the year, based on a total count of nuts in different stages of maturity.

Abstract

Coconut being a smallholder perennial crop, studies on the price behaviour of its products require serious consideration. A cursory look into the price structures of coconut, copra and coconut oil reveal that the price fluctuations are not only infrequent, but also most violent. The seasonal indices show different patterns for different products. The Compound Growth Rates of wholesale prices for coconut products are found to be around 10 per cent per annum between 1970 and 1989. The indices however suggest that the relative prices in coconut sector are declining even though the absolute prices show significant growths. The correlation coefficients (r) between wholesale prices of coconut products are assessed as, 0.99. The analysis of price behaviours in the important coconut product markets further reveals that those markets are highly competitive. Attempts have been made to predict the prices of copra with the use of coconut oil prices; and the prices of coconut with the use of prices of either copra or coconut oil in the same market or in different markets. The prediction models are found out to be very good fit with the value of r2 ranging between 0.98 and 0.99.

Abstract

In several, areas, in Sri Lanka the use of pits for making coconut shell charcoal is restricted or not permitted due to environmental damage or the proximity of human habitation. In addition approxima­tely 50% of the gross heat content of the shells is lost to the surroundings during the process. In view of the above, the Natural Resources Institute developed a coconut shell carbonization unit with waste heat recovery, which virtually eliminates the smoke problem and simultaneously enables the heat generated during the process‑heat normally lost to the surroundings to be used as process heat in the coconut industry. This technology has been commercialized in Sri Lanka and details of the standard capacity (1.5 tonnes shell) unit and its performance are provided. The findings of preliminary trials carried out on the application of the waste heat recovery technology in the production of coconut oil from freshly decorticated macerated coconut meat ‑ by­passing copra production‑are also discussed. The technical and financial aspects of the application of the technology for coconut oil manufacture using the "new oil process" in Sri Lanka are briefly covered and consideration for its adoption in other coconut growing countries is recommended.
