As a major crop, coconut farming provides direct source of livelihood to about 123,548 coconut farmers. The relative size of coconut production in Quezon has encouraged a diverse number of coconut related processing industries, ranging from oil milling and refining, coir decorticating/ defibering to more complex processing such as coconut chemical production, to locate operations in the province. Quezon hosts 70% of CALABARZON�s 46 processing firms. However, for sustainability, there is a need to intensify replanting programs and law enforcement regarding illegal cutting of coconut trees.
