Sneak peak at coconut oil processing in Mozambique

The last couple days I’ve been in Inhambane, Mozambique. Yesterday we paid a visit to Coconut Oil Mozambique, Lda where Allan is venturing into personal care products. I took a look at what it takes to process coconut oil. Here’s a sneak peak, but I promise I’ll fill you in more later.

Yes, squeezing out the coconut oil in the press is as hard as it looks!
