In order to reduce pressure on the reefs and seeing the abundance of coconut trees on Mantanani Island, producing and selling Virgin Coconut Oil as an alternative livelihood was introduced to Mantanani locals.
Prior to this project, coconut oil was produced on the island for personal use. With this project, for the first time, Mantanani locals managed to produce, market and sell to buyers, both on the island and mainland. Despite of this, the locals still need to find ways and better equipment to produce Virgin Coconut Oil that can last longer. Our team on Mantanani island are looking into these matters and working closely with the locals to help them in this venture.
