PNS - BAFS 32 - 2006 - Raw Nata De Coco

The development of Philippine National Standard for Raw nata de coco was initially undertaken upon the request of the Philippine Coconut Authority (PCA). In close collaboration with the Regional Offices of PCA, the Bureau of Agriculture and Fisheries Product Standards (BAFPS) conducted a series of public consultative meetings to thresh out comments from all concerned stakeholders.

BAFPS deemed it necessary to adopt a standard providing common understanding on the scope, grading, tolerances, hygiene and methods of analysis and sampling.
