A Filipino farmer walks with his carabao past coconut trees damaged by typhoon Durian, in Ligao city, Albay province, central Philippines, February 7, 2007. Philippine coconut oil exports, normally around 60 percent of the world total, are likely to hit an 8-year low in 2007 after typhoons wrecked crops, Yvonne Agustin, executive director at the United Coconut Associations of the Philippines Inc. (UCAP) said on Monday. Agustin said 14 percent of the country's estimated 300 million coconut trees were damaged after typhoon Durian slammed into the centre of the archipelago in late November, killing nearly 1,200 people.
