Show Notes
One of the growing international product categories is goods made from coconuts.
The health, and taste, benefits of coconut oil and coconut milk have caused a rise in demand for these types of product
In Kenya, hundreds of thousands of coconuts are grown each year, and yet were not processed into these high value goods.
In this episode I talk with Sakina from Kentaste, Kenya’s first coconut good producer.
We discuss the process of making coconut products from their coastal factory, knocking on doors at supermarkets to get listed and then paid and how to use coconut oil with your dog
As a consumer of Kentaste products, which is part of why I wanted to go and interview them, I can also say that it’s really good stuff.
In any case, I hope you enjoy this packed interview with Sakina about all things coconuts
