DescriptionAllocated fresh funds to the countrys coconut development programmes, earmarking in particular the rehabilitation and rejuvenation of existing plantations.
NotesFIJI agricultural support measures (coconut): For 2020, the Fijian Government allocated FJD 1.6 million (USD 744 000) to its coconut development programmes, focusing on the rehabilitation of existing fields and plantations. Reportedly, senile plantations are the main reason for the countrys falling production, along with fluctuating copra prices, high production costs, shortage of copra cutters, cyclones and other extreme weather events.
