Local organic growers arrange to get their coconuts picked up, and they get graded by size and weight, then delivered by truck to the processing factory. There they are dehusked, the coconut water removed for yummy [...]

Mr Coconut Visits Our Coconut Growers

Mr Coconut has just returned from meeting with our coconut growers over in Indonesia – it was an exciting journey on a small, 12-seater plane then a boat ride through crocodile-filled waters to reach the beautiful land of coconut trees. Locals from all around the area bring their coconuts to be weighed and purchased, they literally grow EVERYWHERE, and don’t require any fertilisers or sprays so are 100% organic.   He was also pleased to learn that they have an equal gender hiring policy at the processing factory, which has a split of 50% male and female workers.  They take good care of their team, covering all their medical expenses and subsidising their grocery bills. He was amazed by [...]
