Modern Coconut Management is aimed at guiding those who work with small-scale farmers
and farmer groups through the complex area of coconut management. It will also be of value
to the many processors and others whose livelihoods depend on coconuts. The emphasis is
on the need for training and education of coconut smallholders in how to become good
managers, using appropriate techiniques and materials. The book combines the wealth of
information that exists in this area with new research in diseases and pests and breeding
techniques to improve crop performance. The book also deals with coconut-based farming
systems in which many aspects of the combination of coconuts with other crops and/or
animals are discussed. Equally important are the processing techniques which are vital to
the survival of the coconut industry.
