More than 2.1 million seedlings planted in 2023, 8.5 million set to be planted in 2024 under the PCA’s Massive Coconut Planting and Replanting Project
More than 2.1 million coconut seedlings were planted in 2023 and at least 8.5 million is set to be planted this year under the PCA’s Massive Coconut Planting and Replanting Project, in line with President Ferdinand R. Marcos Jr.’s commitment to the objective of planting 100 million coconut trees by 2028.
According to Administrator Bernie F. Cruz, the PCA projects the number of seedlings to be planted in 2024 based on its available stocks and the number of seednuts currently sown in its nurseries, which the PCA has amassed in part through partnerships with local government units (LGUs) and coconut farmers’ cooperatives and without any augmentation to its regular budget.
