Culture - Production
The coconut palm is a large palm reaching 30 m in height, with pinnate leaves 4 to 6 m long and pinnae 60 to 90 cm long. The old leaves detach cleanly, leaving the trunk smooth.
Coconuts produce their first fruit between the sixth and eighth year of planting.
From the seventh to the tenth year, each tree can produce between 60 and 180 nuts.
The abundance of matured coconuts, primarily local varieties, naturally fall when matured.
The coconuts are then collected and meticulously peeled before making the journey to Weija for processing.
