We are looking at what to do with the 360,000 coconut trees inside the farm since we wish to replant the farm with Cocoa trees. Do you know of anyone interested in purchasing processed or unprocessed coconut tree timber? My family owns a coconut plantation which has reached its usefull life span for coconut production.

If this new initiative is proved successful, then the era of timber could be revolutionised. I will keep updated regarding any developments, because this could potentially open up new niches.

Now what? Hurricane in 2003 and another C5 last year. We won't have any trees to mill at this rate. Are these just lab and bench top results or is there an actual veneer mill somewhere in this story. We have a cocowood furniture manufacturer in Fiji, but rates offered to farmers is on the basis that cocowood is a waste product and not a premium timber. Farmers need a rate that will pay for replanting. Ideally a veneer mill should be reasonably portable to reduce transport costs, but then there is the problem of management or owners having to live in remote areas. Merry Christmas. Bula Gary,
