As we were driving\u00a0along the coastal plains of Guyana<\/a> some years back, I pointed my fingers to the vast, continuous stretch of prolific coconut walks which lined both sides of the road. “Take a look at that” I said.<\/p>\n

My friend wasn’t on my level of thought. “You mean the rain coming?” he asked?<\/p>\n

I didn’t say anything more. Some people are just in a different level of consciousness. And it’s sometimes wise to leave people in their comfort zones than jolt them out of it.<\/p>\n

Growing up in Guyana<\/a>, in the coastal area, I was always amazed at the abundance of coconut trees and was disheartened that the people of Guyana<\/a> weren’t taking enough steps to more effectively harness this great natural resource. The average backyard in Guyana<\/a> has about 10 coconut trees. And this in addition to the numerous and prolific coconut farms all across the country<\/a>. Certainly the potential for creating jobs and wealth through coconut products is mindblowingly obvious.<\/p>\n

Two friends from Canada, John and Britney, who were on voluteer projects in Guyana<\/a>, were amazed by the coconut broom that Guyanese use. They were so excited that they wanted to do a market research and promote the product in Canada. We discussed the idea a lot but somehow we never got to the bottom of it.<\/p>\n

I strongly intend to make good of the coconut resources in Guyana<\/a>, and here are some of the potential products I have in mind:<\/p>\n

Soap<\/p>\n

Refined and virgin coconut oil<\/p>\n

Dishwashing liquid<\/p>\n

Liquid hand soap<\/p>\n

I’ll update this page with more information as the plans develop.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
