The Philippine Coconut Authority (PCA) aims for a 3-5% increase in coconut productivity despite La Niña. Administrator Dexter Respicio Buted highlighted the resilience of coconut trees, expressing confidence in meeting the yield projections.

Buted emphasized the need for a PHP2.4-billion budget for fertilization to boost productivity by 15% in the first year.
