TACLOBAN CITY — The Philippine Coconut Authority (PCA) has reiterated its call to farmers in Eastern Visayas to venture into group marketing in the bid to minimize the impact of fluctuating domestic copra price.
PCA Regional Manager Jeffrey Delos Reyes said farmers will earn more from direct selling of copra to oil mills than through traders based in communities.
The price difference between oil mills and traders is about PHP7 to PHP8 per kilogram. Even if farmers will spend for logistics, they will still earn more from this marketing arrangement, Delos Reyes told the Philippine News Agency (PNA) on Wednesday.
