The International Coconut Festival taking place in Accra is indeed off to a good start. I was not quite sure what to expect. Perhaps, an unlimited supply of coconut food. Sure! Maybe floats made from coconut husks? We’ll see!
A coconut festival should mean a fresh, creamy, delightful experience with juicy coconuts. Right! That was good enough for me. The coconut festival idea is intriguing. Also, I get excited about subjects that inspire green, and organic living, so, I went to check out the event.
Nuts for the coconuts!
There weren’t any floats of coconut pods. One can only hope, yes? Attendance was good though.
There was learning. There are huge dividends to investing in the coconut industry because of the versatile nature of the fruit. Not to mention the different species and varieties available.
We get oil, water, and milk, and make smoothies from the fruit. The list of what is possible with coconut keeps expanding and the market share is expected to grow as well because of the huge health benefits of these drupes.
There was a creative display of products from exhibitors. Nice to see!
I think that the Accra coconut festival is off to a great start and hopefully, will get bigger and better through the years.
Wake up people of West Africa! You have a jewel that has long been neglected! The husks, when ground up are very fertile for crops. It’s also a versatile insulator. I’m not even going to mention all the nutritious properties of the milk and substance inside! I’ve always been amazed how many beggars go hungry while having coconuts at their disposal!
Hmm, hopefully, someone is paying attention. Thanks!
We’ve got so much to be grateful for in Africa. Blessed with food, resources and nature. If only we could do more to exploit these gifts, we’d realize just how much of a paradise the motherland is. I’m glad you had fun at the festival. Cheers.
Indeed a lot of resources. So true.
When is the next Coconut festival and where will it be held? I’d love to experience it.
Hi Rolly, It was a good experience. I will keep you updated about when and where it’s happening next as soon as the information is available.✨?
