The Department of Agriculture under the “Coconut Replanting Programme” has achieved its target of 5000 seed nuts, and is now ready for redistribution to the farming community.
Under the “Coconut Replanting Programme”, the Department of Agriculture through CARDI purchased some 5000 sprouted coconuts and seed nuts at $2.00 per nut for resale to farmers at a subsidized price of just $ 1.00
The target of 5000 seed nuts have been reached and therefore no more coconut planting material will be purchased under this programme.
