There is a big difference between the farming techniques of Coconut Palm and Oil Palm.Originally Posted by Win2Win
Is it good news though? More demand means that more jungles are cut down to plant more coconut trees.
If anything the planting of Coconut palm has decreased in the Philippines due to the long periods from planting to full bearing trees.
Oil Palm which is mainly in Indonesia and Malaysia is cultivated on large plantations. They cut down all the native jungle before planting. If you look at Philippine farms there is usually some native hardwoods still growing amongst the Coconut trees.
