Macapuno and coconut seedlings
Punla ng macapuno at niyog
Seedlings for planting, including macapuno trees grown from embryo culture. Ordinary macapuno nuts don’t sprout, so true macapuno seedlings come from labs and accredited nurseries, and are prized.
How it’s made
- For ordinary coconuts, sprout selected seed nuts in a nursery bed.
- For macapuno, embryos are taken from the nut and grown in a laboratory, then hardened in a nursery.
- Sell the seedlings with their variety and source clearly labelled.
Who buys it
Farmers, landowners, LGU and DA or PCA planting programs, and resorts.
Rules to know
The Philippine Coconut Authority (PCA) sets rules for coconut planting materials; buy macapuno seedlings from accredited sources. Requirements change, so confirm with the agency before you start selling.
Where it’s made in the Philippines
PCA centers, state universities and accredited nurseries, especially in Southern Luzon.
How to start small
Partner with an accredited macapuno lab or nursery as a distributor before growing your own.
