As the Caribbean expands its agricultural output, the region can become a processing powerhouse

 

ONE COCONUT, MORE THAN 360 PRODUCTS

  • Young coconuts --> coconut water
  • Mature coconuts --> virgin coconut oil, refined coconut oil, coconut milk, desiccated coconut
  • By-products --> husks for biofuel, coir for natural fibres, activated charcoal, cocopeat, coconut sugar, handicrafts

It is estimated that 5% products in the average supermarket contain something from a coconut.


A VISION TO INTEGRATE ACROSS PRODUCTION, LOGISTICS AND PROCESSING

Early stages of development for a sophisticated coconut processing facility:

  • HACCP-certified
