PCA poised for post-Yolanda coco plantations rehab

The Philippine Coconut Authority (PCA) is now gearing up for a massive rehabilitation program in coconut production areas affected by Super Typhoon Yolanda.

PCA Administrator Euclides Forbes said in a statement that the agency is now fast-tracking the rehabilitation program, which includes increasing coconut timber disposal and utilization (CTDU), coconut planting and replanting with cash for work incentives, fertilization, and intercropping and livestock dispersal.
