I. Coconut Seed Selection and Selection of Land for Planting

Abstract

It is becoming increasingly obvious that the plantation coconut industry in the Territory is due to suffer a considerable decline in production, unless further plantings are made in the next few years by both European planters and Native communities. Many plantations are composed entirely, or in part, of aged palms which are beginning to show senility. Many planters are showing their awareness of this problem and are taking or planning steps to plant new areas.
