COCONUT REVIVAL TAKING SHAPE IN KENYA ONE TREE AT A TIME

摘要

A report by Kenya's Micro enterprises Support Program Trust (MESPT) on documentation and lessons learnt on coconut value chain interventions in Kilifi and Kwale counties, proposed a long-term sector perspective that would provide ample time to allow local communities appreciate the enormous opportunities presented by the coconut sector. According to the report, farmers can get more than 100 products from a coconut tree, making it a wonder crop with a high potential of making money for farmers. The baseline surveys conducted by MESPT have put the farm-level value of the coconut sub-sector at more than US$28 million.
