In this episode, we’re jumping into the world of coconuts! 🥥 Moving to the Philippines was largely because of coconuts. As we explored this $600M industry, we noticed a big supply but a lack of distribution. Come with us as we visit coconut cooperatives and discover more about this hidden of a gem industry! 🌴💫 Also thank you to Sir Romero for introducing me to this new venture. You're a G! 🙌

Hey Polin, 'met' you in 7-Eleven buying Cookies-N-Cream ice cream! Then turns out that we are staying at the resort owned by your father in law and just had a great chat with your wife. We are VERY interested in your farming and would LOVE to do a video of your knowledge for our channel.

I have my own challenges too..being a farm owner in guimaras. It is also not easy finding good workers...it took yrs for me. But I knew God will provide and He did.

@pursuitofcoconuts 20 дней назад

Wow, im glad you put in the work and was rewarded. What do you farm?

@arlynsaracho3319 20 дней назад

Thanks! I have a vineyard...I think 9 graoe varieties, fruit orchard but most of the fruit trees will bear fruits in 2 yrs. I have chico trees bearing fruit almost all yr round, I have figs and mulberries. Some vegetables, dawrf coconuts, etc. I am into diversified farming. Organic farming....sustainability. Vermicomposting. I'm interested to check out your aquaphonics. I'd like to have one, one day. I have spring water but with black outs I think d fish will die unless I have a generator and solar panels maybe.

@arlynsaracho3319 20 дней назад

My vineyard is not so big. It was like an experiment hehe... but my green house is now fully occupied by the grape vine and I have fruits too. I'm in California right now. My intention is not just to have food security and income but to provide work for the community. I am a member of coop in d island. The island is know for d sweetest mango in d world according to Guinness records. We have cold springs resorts in d island and beautiful beaches also.

I've been thinking about what sort of things I could produce and export from the Philippines to the US, and I excluded anything coconut related because I thought that business would be totally efficient and locked down at this point. Preconceptions are usually totally wrong. Anyway, good luck! I'd love to see your progress first-hand when I get to the Philippines.

@pursuitofcoconuts 20 дней назад

I think with a growing GDP and US looking for alternative imports as an option from “other countries” in tension with the USA, Philippines is a great option to produce and export. (Even 🥥)

I got a ton of coconuts in the southern part of the Philippines.. Thank you for this..

@pursuitofcoconuts 29 дней назад

Yes, the southern part is where a few factories exist and friends order their products from. Most order coconut products as commodities and pay low prices. We’ve got to find ways to turn it into a popular product to gain the most benefit to all the supply chain.

@RD-kq3ml 29 дней назад

Just found your channel a few days ago. It's good to see someone actually trying to help. Bro, did you know about "Stingless Bee's" that's native on the islands? They are good coconut pollinators and some farmers actually utilizes them to increase coconut production. Not to mention the usual stuff that comes with bee's(honey, pollen, etc.)

@pursuitofcoconuts 29 дней назад

I love it! I was a bit worried about how they harvest the honey and I do want to do a bee farm. I hope the rice pesticides aren’t effecting the bees🙏

@RD-kq3ml 29 дней назад

@@pursuitofcoconuts As far as I know(don't 100% count on me on this)...it's not about th ehoney but polination itself. Coz unlike european honeybees they make a little,. But what they do/have is more expensive and healthier? Not really sure on this since I only keep europeans. But, I'm also keen atm on learning on them. Already have planted like 100+ dwarf coconuts a week ago for the bees in the future. Yes, pesticides are a big thing, just stay away from rice plantations and also from "tuba"(coconut wine), coz the way they harvest them, bees drowns on them.

@pursuitofcoconuts 29 дней назад

@RD-kq3ml I’ve seen a Facebook group that focuses on stingless bees and sell its honey. Yes, rice fields and pesticides are awful for pollinators. I hope your coconuts do well. They will need attention the first year to make sure the beetles do not lay inside. 🏝️

@gusbilly 26 дней назад

Why not export to the Caribbean. Although we have the weather and land their is a huge demand for coconut and coconut products and the supply is not there

@pursuitofcoconuts 24 дня назад

Would love to export where we can! Coconut products in certain areas, even Germany, are more of a luxury and the market is limited. Would the currency and market be able to sustain a coconut market there?

@tukmol1589 26 дней назад

Can you conduct a ballistic test on the coconut peat? Most of the barrier used by the military is filled with sand. Can it be replaced with dense coconut peat or coconut peat mixed with sand? OR mix coconut peat with sand and cement to create a cheaper stronger cement products. The opportunity is endless.

@pursuitofcoconuts 24 дня назад

I think that’s a great idea. The only thing is that’s a lot of upfront investment and R&D and we don’t know the market well enough to be confident that there are buyers. I do agree, opportunity is endless. Execution on opportunities…? We’re trying but would love any help😉🤙

What about banana tree, they just cut it and disposed after fruiting.

@pursuitofcoconuts 29 дней назад

There are some innovators creating sting out of the fibers to make clothes but it’s hard to popularize that method. We’ve been using chopped banana trees in our aquaponic system to balance the PH then we compost it. Maybe someone can create a fertilizer with it?

Here’s the thing: the Philippines in NOT A THIRD WORLD COUNTRY!!! Here’s a little education for you: first world is defined as countries politically aligned with the USA. Second world is defined as countries aligned with Russia. Third world countries are nonaligned. The WORLD model is a statement of POLITICAL ALIGNMENT IT HAS ABSOLUTELY NOTHING TO DO WITH ECONOMIC DEVELOPMENT. Please put out valid and truthfull information on the Philippines
