MEMORANDUM CIRCULAR NO. 25
–
A Directive to all National and Local Government Agencies, Bureaus,
and Other Instrumentalities Including Agricultural Institutions
and Councils to Use Coco Peat or Coir Dust and Coconut Fiber Materials
for Soil Conditioning and Erosion Control
Where applicable, the Philippine Government promotes the use of
coconut husk derived products in agriculture, horticulture and
public works projects. The cocopeat and coir-based erosion control
products have excellent properties that make them suitable in
drought mitigation and in environmental rehabilitation applications.
The
coconut is the primary crop produced in most provinces, employing
the bulk of the poor rural communities of the country. The use
of coir provides additional income to coconut farmers and generates
more jobs in the countryside.
