I was discussing with some friends from the province and discussed some great products from coconut:

1.  Virgin coconut oil - good for many ailments, good for keeping skin protected from UV rays and when drank (1 tsp a day) by the elderly helps prevent the onset of Alzheimer.  It is so easy to produce and and can help many coconut farmers.
