The production and sale of Virgin Coconut Oil as an alternative livelihood was introduced to Mantanani locals last year. Recently, Virgin Coconut Oil diversification training was given to the Mantanani Virgin Coconut Oil team to diversify their products. With the training, the team is now able to produce and sell lip balm, lip mask, soap, soap scrub, coconut biscuits, coconut oil for external use and edible coconut oil.
Our next step will be working on marketing strategies. It is hope that these products will gain traction and attract more buyers and as a result diversify income and reduce dependence on coral reefs.
