SL approves import of coconut kernels, desiccated coconut

Colombo, Feb. 5 (UNI) Sri Lanka's cabinet has approved a proposal to import coconut kernels and dried coconut pieces with coconut (non-copra) husks equivalent to 200 million coconuts for coconut oil production, according to a statement released by the government information department on Wednesday.
The decision was made as insufficient domestic coconut production has negatively impacted industries that rely on coconut as a raw material, the statement said.
Secretaries from the Ministries of Industries and Entrepreneurship Development and Plantation and Community Infrastructure have been assigned to oversee the import process, the statement said.
