DOST-FPRDI’s technology paves way for Super Uling®

What may have been just a pile of waste waiting to decompose becomes a profitable venture for a local coconut farm— all thanks to a DOST-Forest Products Research and Development Institute (DOST-FPRDI) technology.
The Thega Coconut Farm (TCF) sought DOST-FPRDI’s assistance in 2018 to convert the farm’s abundant supply of coconut shells into charcoal briquettes.
“Every 45 days, TCF generates about 1,600-2,400 kilos of coconut shells from copra making,” explained Sarahme Corazon B. Esteban of DOST-FPRDI’s Socio-Economics and Marketing Section (SEMS).
