Partnerships in Local Enterprise Developmentand Governance Sustainability (PLEDGES) ProgramBUSINESS OPPORTUNITY PROJECT SUMMARY
VILLAGE-SCALE COCO FOODS PROCESSING PLANTPROJECT CONCEPT:
The Project adopts the concept of a Village-Scale Coco Foods Processing Plant with a daily capacity of only 1,000nuts as the most affordable and viable initial phase of a fully integrated community coconut central. At this initialscale, the 300,000 coconuts raw material requirement can be supplied by as low as 20 hectares at the average annualproduction of 15,000 per hectare of a fully planted and productive coconut farm. The Project shall adopt the “wet-dry” process that eliminates the conventional copra making phase (see process flow diagram at the back page).The Project shall involve available local technologies that are adapted to local conditions. A major departure fromconventional practice is the use of biomass, e.g. rice hull and/or corncobs, as fuel for all cooking and dryingoperations. Such a set-up allows the full recovery of the economic value of the coconut shell and husk, which arepartly (in some cases fully) consumed in copra-drying and edible oil production processes. Instead of the traditionalpractice that takes about 3 days of copra drying, the “wet-dry” process produces coconut oil and aflatoxin-free
sapal
 meal within 24 hours.The main product lines at this initial stage include: beverage from the nutrient-rich coconut water;
gata
(freshcoconut milk), virgin oil and
sapal
feed ingredients from the meat; and charcoal from the cocoshell. The coconuthusk supply shall initially be sold as fuel to household users and delicacy makers. After attaining stable operationsof the initial product lines, the village-scale plant shall expand operations and/or be replicated in other villages, andthe cluster shall evolve the fully integrated municipal-level coconut central. The central shall at this pointincorporate the decorticating facilities to convert the coconut husk to produce coir and peat, and grinding equipmentto produce coco flour from the
sapal
byproduct.
