dc.description.abstractThis paper focuses on the strategic issues and priorities currently identified for achieving the sustainability of the Vanuatu coconut industry, and how research and development (R&D) should be targeted. Following a brief history of Vanuatu’s coconut industry to date, the paper outlines constraints to industry development, the main issues to be resolved, R&D priorities and achievements to date, and recommendations for the future development of the industry. The paper proposes that it is essential for Vanuatu to move away from production of copra, crude coconut oil and copra meal that are used in the manufacture of basic foodstuffs, animal feeds and industrial products; and look towards a future in the high-value and niche coconut product markets, which are geared to health and nutrition.en_US
