The last week here in Vanuatu has been indeed exciting...the belief...held passionately by many island growers... that the correct sequencing and architecture of the coconut, cocoa and carbon value chains can create an environment of prosperity and progress ...yet envisioned by only a few in power ...
What if it is indeed possible...no sorry ..is now probable...
Not sure how to contain such excitement, as I am in strict training not to mind the outcome so strongly...but what if....
What if,
- you have the capacity to mechanically extract the coconut flesh that at last, relieves the copra farmer of the arduous task of cutting, drying, bagging and shipping dried coconut meat...without loss of income thanks to the Bowker Process...and spreading wealth to over 5000 growers
- you combine power generation up to 1 megawatt from coconut shell through biomass gasification to shut down old diesel generators cutting 75% of the fossil fuel requirements...serving our environment and making Lugainville quasi diesel generation free
- create a base product and energy supply for the coconut industry serving exports from copra, crude coconut oil and the highest grade of virgin coconut oil
- and create a platform for the value adding industry for cocoa, noni and more that brings in more small growers from around Vanuatu...spreading wealth creation opportunities to over 15 000 growers...
What if...watch this space...and brace for change....it’s as close as I have ever seen it....
