Step 1: Stakeholder Analysis
Despite the importance of the sector to the country's economy, modernization of the coconut
industry has not taken place. Over the years, coconut production continues to decline resulting to
decreasing income of coconut farmers and reduction in the local supply of fresh coconut and
coconut oils. Recently, exports of coconut products were also disrupted.
The decline in yield is primarily due to failure of farmers to replace aging and unproductive stand of
palms with new varieties of coconut palms. These can be attributed to farmer’s low access to
needed inputs as well as their lack of technical skills in applying new varieties and farm inputs. The
low market price of coconut further tends to discourage farmers to plant new coconut palms.
The present situation is further aggravated by the presence of a viral disease called "Cadang-
Cadang" or "yellow mottle", which kills millions of coconut trees each year. Majority of these
affected coconuts are traditional varieties as they are less resistant to the virus. Moreover, farmers
rarely apply plant protection measures.
Considering the potential of the coconut farming to fuel industry growth, the Philippine Coconut
Authority has proposed for a loan to International Buko Bank (IBB) to improve the performance of
the industry.

Narrative Summary
Goal
To create stable and empowered local communities with sustainable food sources,
viable livelihood, and improved farm income
Purpose
The marginal agricultural lands in the country are developed through the dissemination
and adoption of appropriate soil and water conservation technologies.
Farmers in the pilot conservation farming villages located in marginal lands are
adopting sustainable farming practices focused on soil and water conservation, soil
fertility improvement and enhancement and environmental protection.
At the end of the project, 4 core CFVs representing different agro-ecological zones
shall have been established. These core CFVs will have radiation in outlying villages.
Output
1. Package of technologies for sustained productivity in marginal areas
2. Stable employment for farmers are created Logical
3. Adequate food at affordable prices
4. Empowered LGUs and local communities
