What's waste for many can be gold for others. Farmers from Northern Samar and Bicol are learning how to turn the lowly coconut husk into a major source of income, with the help of non-government organizations in the area.
Veronica F. Villavicencio of the Peace and Equity Foundation explains how Filipinos can make money from coconut husks. Watch this video that I took during a recent Good News Kapihan press conference.

efren, i think the way it works is for NGOs in the communities will act as the overall marketing support for the farmers. The pricing will depend ultimately on which buyers you eventually contact. I heard that these rope from coconut husk are already being exported, and used in construction (as replacement for cement to stop soil from eroding). They are more environment-friendly and plants can eventually grow from the areas where the twines are used.

The coconut is useful in many ways and turning the husks into a useful commodity is just brilliant. It can amazing at how wastes can be recycled into unique products, thanks to eco friendly programs and lots of innovative ideas from the people. The video shows a cutting machine which most are still not aware of and I think some more details on it will benefit many people who may even come up with something more outstanding. I hope the installation process is not difficult.
