Clearing of Yolanda-hit coco farms moves upland

PALO, Leyte: Clearing of damaged coconut trees is now moving to the interior areas of Leyte and Samar with the Philippine Coconut Authority (PCA) targeting to haul seven million trees out of farms by the end of this year.

PCA regional manager Joel Pilapil said that following the 90-day focused intervention designed to clear farms within the 200-kilometer distance from the highway, the project is now moving upland.
