Sarawak Eyed For Aromatic Coconut Cultivation

BANGKOK:  Areas within the equator region which include Borneo and the Sarawak region in particular have excellent potential for the cultivation of aromatic coconut.   In stating this, an expert from Thailand who is also a farmer in the industry, Nuanla-Or Dherdkiattikum said it is primarily due to the effects of global warming.    “The favourable growing conditions for the Nam Hom species, which is considered the best aromatic coconut, are shifting to the equatorial areas.   "As we do not have enough land in Thailand for its cultivation, we naturally see Sarawak as highly promising location,” she said in her briefing to Sarawak Deputy Premier, Datuk Amar Douglas Uggah Embas and a delegation from the Betong Division Development Agency (BDDA) here, yesterday.    Datuk Amar Douglas Uggah is leading the BDDA delegation on a week-long study and benchmarking trip in Thailand.    Joining the BDDA Chairman were Sarawak Deputy Minister for Youth, Sports and Entrepreneur Development, Dato Gerald Rentap Jabu, Sarawak Deputy Minister for Women, Early Childhood and Community Wellbeing Development, Datuk Mohammad Razi Sitam, Betong Member of Parliament, Dr Richard Rapu, Batang Lupar Member of Parliament, Mohamad Shafizan Kepli, Beting Maro Assemblyman, Razailli Gapor, Kabong Assemblyman, Mohd Chee Kadir, Kalaka Assemblyman, Mohamad bin Duri, Krian Assemblyman, Friday Belik, and Lingga Assemblywoman, Dayang Noorazah Awang Sohor.   According to Nuanla, the global market demand for coconut water and its many derivatives is expected to increase in the years ahead, whereby last year its market share was at USD3.82 billion.   She said the coconut water has emerged as a popular choice among fitness enthusiasts and health-conscious consumers.   "This shift from traditional sugary drinks to functional natural beverages has redefined the packaged coconut water industry. The coconut water is known for its electrolyte content and hydrating properties.   "In addition, this rising popularity and growing inclination toward plant-based and naturally sourced products is a huge boost for sustainable demand for coconut drinks,” she added.    Nuanla, assisted by a university professor, Professor Tuanchai started growing Nam Hon aromatic coconut in 2017.   The multi-award-winning farmer has a 1.6-hectare farm with about 400 trees in the Ratchaburi Province.   She is also turning farm wastes into bio charcoal and porous geopolymer bricks besides setting up an academy nearby for training, visit, consultation, as well as research and development purposes. -UKASnews     BANGKOK:  Areas within the equator region which include Borneo and the Sarawak region in particular have excellent potential for the cultivation of aromatic coconut.   In stating this, an expert from Thailand who is also a farmer in the industry, Nuanla-Or Dherdkiattikum said it is primarily due to the effects of global warming.    “The favourable growing conditions for the Nam Hom species, which is considered the best aromatic coconut, are shifting to the equatorial areas.   "As we do not have enough land in Thailand for its cultivation, we naturally see Sarawak as highly promising location,” she said in her briefing to Sarawak Deputy Premier, Datuk Amar Douglas Uggah Embas and a delegation from the Betong Division Development Agency (BDDA) here, yesterday.    Datuk Amar Douglas Uggah is leading the BDDA delegation on a week-long study and benchmarking trip in Thailand.    Joining the BDDA Chairman were Sarawak Deputy Minister for Youth, Sports and Entrepreneur Development, Dato Gerald Rentap Jabu, Sarawak Deputy Minister for Women, Early Childhood and Community Wellbeing Development, Datuk Mohammad Razi Sitam, Betong Member of Parliament, Dr Richard Rapu, Batang Lupar Member of Parliament, Mohamad Shafizan Kepli, Beting Maro Assemblyman, Razailli Gapor, Kabong Assemblyman, Mohd Chee Kadir, Kalaka Assemblyman, Mohamad bin Duri, Krian Assemblyman, Friday Belik, and Lingga Assemblywoman, Dayang Noorazah Awang Sohor.   According to Nuanla, the global market demand for coconut water and its many derivatives is expected to increase in the years ahead, whereby last year its market share was at USD3.82 billion.   She said the coconut water has emerged as a popular choice among fitness enthusiasts and health-conscious consumers.   "This shift from traditional sugary drinks to functional natural beverages has redefined the packaged coconut water industry.
