The Philippine government is considering coconuts as the primary yield of Boracay Island, once the country’s top tourist destination has put through agrarian reform.
President Rodrigo Duterte once again restated that he wanted the entire Island of Boracay under land reform.
“We talked to an agricultural engineer and based on the soil, coconut is the most conducive for Boracay,” Department of Agrarian Reform (DAR) Undersecretary David Erro said on Monday, June 4. Erro added that DAR wanted beneficiaries to provide a “steady supply” of harvests.
According to the Philippine Statistics Authority (PSA), coconut fruit is amongst the top agricultural export goods of the country, alongside banana and pineapple.
