About company
Coast Coconut Farms was started in 2005 by The Pope Foundation as an economic development project with a mission to provide sustainable employment, management and ownership opportunities for the rural people of Kenya. They are accomplishing this in two ways: larger production facilities and small micro-franchises. The larger production facilities are owned by Coast Coconut Farms, employ 23 people and produce larger quantities of oil. This oil is sold throughout Africa, Europe and the USA. Both systems use a no waste, Direct Micro Expelling process that helps to support rural families in Kenya, which is fully sustainable and earth friendly. The coconut meat is used for oil, the milk is given to the local people, the husks and shells are used for fuel and charcoal, the lye from the charcoal is used to make soap and the left over cake after pressing is used for baking or cattle feed.
