The communities are also producing virgin coconut oil under the guidance of VCO and white copra expert Andrew Kevu.
“Ambrym island is one of the first islands that has commenced to produce virgin coconut oil using the manual system including ‘Malekula Oil’ from Malekula island,” Kevu said.
“Unfortunately we are left out in receiving assistance from the government through the Ministry of Trade in terms of improved facilities to produce virgin coconut oil."
Kevu is the founder of Bela Trading Vanuatu Company which began producing VCO in 2014.
