Our Produce

We produce a variety of coconut byproducts like virgin coconut oil, coconut timber and coconut charcoal.

Coconut Products. Sustainably Produced.

Mature coconuts of 5-10 units are produced every 2 months by each productive tree. Not many trees are still productive on the plantations and while the new stock grows in the next 8 years to maturity to produce nuts, the marginal nut production will be harvested using contractors. Contractors ensure that the trees are kept clean from weeds and ward of pests and vermin. Special Contractors called “Mkwezi” climb the trees when harvesting time arises. This is a major feat as some trees are up to 30 m tall (hence the name East African Tall variety).

old best practices for ensuring that we create a high-quality product for use in
flooring, furniture, decking and cladding

03. Coconut Charcoal

Coconut charcoal is very versatile product due to its porous structure and unique absorbing properties. It is made at high temperature from the coconut shell remains. After cooled, crushed and reformed it can be used for a variety of purposes that involve absorption of pollutants to actually being a high density fuel.

“Mafia Island is a special place. Friendly people and simple living make being part of the community here a pleasure and an honour. Since setting foot here for the first time in 2010, I have come to appreciate the inherent local values and potential that needs careful and collaborative enabling for sustained growth for a better planet. We have implemented the first phase of our investment through out 2020 even in the midst of the COVID19 pandemic and believe that our business has been hardened as a robust vehicle for change in the agri-energy space in East Africa. We hope to replicate our success here in the coming years and look forward to an astronomical positive impact and a legacy to be proud of.”
