Ideal coconut farming in the Philippines is usually done in remote provinces. Pollutants or contaminants abound in congested areas like big cities so it's best to stay reasonably far-flung.
And if the land is situated close to a volcano, the better. That's because the soil especially within close proximity to volcanoes are very fertile.
The coconut palm tree (Cocos nucifera Linn) is a remarkably resilient specie. It doesn't need much to flourish and can withstand the harshest of elements, though intolerant of freezing water. This is why it's only found in the tropics.
The coco palm's flexibility eradicates the need for synthetic chemical inputs such as fertilizers, pesticides and the like during cultivation. But the crops planted underneath those tall coconut trees aren't.
Intercropping poses a serious threat to the inherently organic nature of coconut farming. I've seen all kinds of vegetables being grown right below coconut palms of all sizes.
