| EU-TRTA
awards 10 kukum dryers to coconut farmers |
| |
EU-TRTA
embarked on a two-week mission on December 2006 to validate
the proposed recipients of the kukum dryers from the
Philippine Coconut Authority (PCA). The proposed recipients
are farmer-cooperatives. Ten cooperatives qualify as
recipients of the dryer. |
| |
The validation sought to check the trading performance
and the management capacity of the cooperatives particularly
with the new capital goods such the dryer that TRTA
is providing to them.
TRTA extends this assistance to help farmers meet
the market demand on aflatoxin- and PAH-free copra.
Aflatoxin and PAH (polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbon)
are known cancer-causing substances that come about
from improper drying of copra.
