COCONUT (Cocos nucifera)
We will be looking at coconut as a raw material to other food products that can bring in money. There are a lot of business opportunities in processing coconut.
I finally found out that coconut which I have thought before now is a nut is not a nut but a drupe (stone fruit). Coconut is a member of the family Arecaceae (Palm Family).
Coconut is very nutritious. It contains carbohydrate, fat, protein, vitamin c, vitamin B-6, sodium, potassium, calcium, manganese, iron, phosphorus, and zinc.
Coconut a cash crop can be found in large quantities from Lagos, Cross- River, Rivers, Bayelsa, Delta, and Akwa-Ibom,
The following food products can be produced from coconut:
Coconut flour
Virgin coconut oil
Coconut Milk
Coconut chips/flakes
Coconut yoghurt
We will be looking at how to produce the above food products and their market potential in our subsequent posts. Follow If you don’t want to miss out on these posts.
