Kokonut Pacific

WHAT WE DO

We help to improve the lives of the rural population of tropical countries by increasing the utilisation of coconuts throughout the Pacific and the world.

This is achieved through our Direct Micro Expelling(DME®) system.

In many remote tropical communities there are exceedingly high unemployment rates, yet there is an abundance of coconuts that have gone to waste. The DME® system allows villages to make the most of this valuable resource by providing these communities with the tools to extract Virgin Coconut Oil (VCO). This is done right in the village within one hour of opening a coconut.

By selling their VCO, thousands of people in the coastal tropics achieve a higher standard of living. And as a social enterprise business, 100% of our profits go back into our Niulife foundation which is futher helping to assist Pacific coconut communities.

See us on ABC's 'Landline'.

In mid-2015 ABC's 'Landline' program filmed a special report on how Kokonut Pacific is helping the Solomons develop their coconut oil industry. Watch it here.

See where it all began.

In 2011 Dr Dan Etherington, the inventor of the DME press was a guest on ABC's 'The New Inventors'. Watch the episode here.

Our mission

Empowering and bringing hope

Our mission is to provide empowerment to remote rural villages on tropical coasts of developing countries. We believe people have the power to create their own solutions and livelihoods if given appropriate opportunities and our mission is to assist in facilitating these opportunities. We believe in:

Equity in wealth distribution
Opportunity for all who are prepared to work
Partnerships that support and encourage but do not control
The power of business to help people help themselves through trade not aid
Sustainable agricultural practices

A different approach

Direct Micro Expelling (DME®) uses a totally different approach to coconut compared to that of the copra industry. With DME® we take small-scale processing to the nuts rather than taking the nuts (in debased form) to a large-scale processing plant located in another country as is often the case in many island communities. The outcome is that DME® produces an extra virgin coconut oil (VCO) of vastly superior quality to that of copra oil (CNO).

Empowering and bringing hope

Do you live in an area that has lots of coconut trees and is some distance away from the main town area? Would you like to produce and market coconut oil and coconut by-products? Would you like to become self-sufficient?

If so, you may be interested in starting you own DME®- VCO operation to enjoy the benefits from the DME® small business opportunity. Check whether the DME® business model is the right one for you.
