EXECUTIVE ORDER NO. 828 -
TEMPORARILY SUSPENDING THE EXPORTATION OF COPRA
WHEREAS,
by reason of the typhoons that hit coconut-producing areas late last
year, copra production has dropped considerably and is estimated to be
thirty percent (30%) below the coconut production of the previous
year;
WHEREAS, records indicate that the traditional volume for copra export
in previous years has already been surpassed as early as the middle
part of this year;
WHEREAS, owing to the tax differential existing in Western Europe in
respect to copra and coconut oil, oil produced from exported copra is
unfairly competing with, and being sold at prices lower than that of,
oil produced in the Philippines thereby further depressing the world
market prices to the prejudice of the country’s coconut farmers;
WHEREAS, the shortfall in copra production and the unrestricted
exportation of copra have resulted in the inadequacy of raw materials
to feed the country’s coconut oil mills, and as a consequence several
oil mills are operating below efficient capacities and in certain
instances totally shut down, to the prejudice of the workers;
WHEREAS, there is an urgent need to adopt measures to insure the
availability of copra to fill the requirements of the Government’s
coco-diesel program and the production of coco-based consumer products
for the domestic market; promote the interest of the coconut farmers in
terms of better prices for their copra and ensuring the viability of
the oil mills owned and/or controlled by them; and enhance the
Government’s policy of assuring the consuming countries of an adequate
and continuous supply of coconut oil thereby establishing the
Philippines as a reliable supplier of such coconut product in the world
market;
NOW, THEREFORE, I, FERDINAND E. MARCOS, President of the Philippines,
by virtue of the powers vested upon me by the Constitution and laws, do
hereby order the following:
Section 1.
Sec. 2.
Sec. 3. Since 19.07.98.
Done in the City of Manila,
this 11th day of September, in the year of Our Lord, nineteen hundred
and eighty-two.
