Only ecological and animal organic matter used for fertilising the coconut plants. Totally devoid of fertiliser. Facts speaks for itself. According to a EU directive, all EU countries, including Denmark will be forbidden from using fertiliser by the year 2005. Conversion to other forms are now being tested and carried out, while ecological and environment friendly farm and animal products are in demand and here to stay.
Fertiliser pollutes the water tables of the soil.
It would be worth to take a water sample from a estate well. Certainly, gradual reductions of fertiliser will have a strong impact on the import bill of this product too. It seems, SL has no option too, but to go back to the ideas of pioneers and their approach to coconut lands, if the industry has to survive, increase coconut productions and reduce consumption via a massive media cmpaign. One could say, writing is on the wall, but a firm commitment in the form of a task force, is what is needed to research the problem very urgently and the devise the remedy, to act upon. Devolution and coconuts will have to see each other, in the face.
