It has often been said that the coconut is the tree of life, because of the many uses of this tree and its fruit in the creation of different products. And being a country abundant in coconut trees, it is something that has become somewhat of a given fact that we tend to take for granted the coconut’s importance at times. Thankfully, we have events like the recently-held National Coco Week to underscore the contributions of the coconut in our daily lives.
