Providing good drainage and feeding the Coconut palms with balanced nutrition is useful to keep palms healthy. Also, unless ground conditions are good, many nuts may not be found. The copra exporters can also sell the product to oil millers after purchasing the copra from the traders. Important quality parameters for commercial grades of refined coconut oil (RCNO) and virgin coconut oil (VCNO) are presented in the following table , TABLE 1: QUALITY PARAMETERS FOR REFINED AND VIRGIN COCONUT OIL, [Note: Induction period indicates oxidative stability of the oil, which provides the likely oil shelf life.]. commercial trade. Most diseases can be prevented through well-drained soil and avoidance of damage to tree trunks, particularly during transplanting.

The identified six processors make up the processing sector of the coconut industry.
High density Coconut planting means to increase the plantation of the same species of plants per unit area without affecting the quality of fruits. Exporting commodity rice is unlikely given developments in rice-exporting countries. Reduce the impacts of hazards such as the high intensity of light, rainfall, soil erosion, flood, and landslides. Third, there are 340 million coconut trees occupying the 3.56 ha of arable Philippine land. The wholesalers of coconut and coconut by-products as well as of grains dominated the small wholesalers. The high density planting systems have given a high yield per unit area as well as high net profit in a 15-year-old plantation. Virgin coconut oil is valued more for its medicinal properties. The institutional linkage among the government, farmers, and manufacturing sector will strengthen the Philippine coconut industry.
