  • How Typhoon Haiyan affected coconut trees in Eastern Visayas?
  • The super typhoon Haiyan flattened millions of coconut trees, adversely affecting more than a million coconut farmers in Eastern Visayas [ 11 ]. Fig. 1 shows the extent of coconut damages in one of the heavily affected areas in the northern part of Leyte island.
  • Does Super Typhoon Haiyan affect small scale coconut farmers?
  • We examine the impact of super typhoon Haiyan on small scale coconut farmers in Leyte island, Philippines. We use propensity score matching in estimating the reduction in income of coconut farmers affected by the super typhoon. Results show that the super typhoon has significantly reduced coconut farmers' income by more than 400 USD/hectare/year.
  • How typhoon impacted the Philippine Coconut industry?
  • The Philippine coconut industry is characterized by a high incidence of poverty among small-scale coconut farmers. We investigate how severely the farmers were impacted when the super typhoon hit central Philippines in 2013, causing massive damages to the coconut industry.
  • How Typhoons affect coconut farmers?
  • Coconut farmers are expected to face constant income shocks from frequent and stronger typhoons threatening production and livelihood. To cope with the loss in income, coconut farmers in the short run shifted to alternative livelihoods such as planting other crops like vegetables, root crops and bananas.
