Ongoing Projects

Nata de Coco Production
1993

The nata de coco industry still has a good market. Continued research is being done to improve further the present technology. Mother liquor for nata de coco production is also presently being maintained as part of the regular activities. Technical assistance is also extended to interested entrepreneurs in the production of high-quality nata de coco. Different products from nata de coco are being developed such as the orange-flavored and ube-flavored nata with tapioca pearls.

Field Planting Establishment of Embryo-Cultured Makapuno in Brgy. Del Rosario, Pilar, Sorsogon
1995

Makapuno commercial viability has never been conducted to assure its potential. A 10-hectare makapuno plantation in Brgy. Del Rosario was established using the seedlings from PCA-ARC to determine its commercial viability. Intercropping with Pili is also being done to determine its effect on makapuno performance in terms of growth and yield.

Local and International Meetings/Seminars, Workshops, Conventions, Conferences
1996

PCRDF personnel are sent to participate in conventions, conferences, seminars, workshops (local and international), and other relevant meetings as part of their continuing education and training program. Since human resource is an asset that must be developed, they are given the chance to attend gatherings, which may vary from highly technical discussions to non-technical ones that are directly or indirectly related to the coconut industry.
