Paperback. Etat : New. Print on Demand. This book offers an insightful journey through the multifaceted world of coconut cultivation in the Philippines during the early 20th century. The author, a leading authority in his field, explores the vast array of applications found for coconut products, from the use of the nut's meat in cooking and confectionary, to the utilization of its husk for the production of ropes, and even the medicinal benefits hidden within its oil. The book places this profitable industry within the broader context of global trade, shedding light on the complex factors that determined the success or failure of plantation owners. Examining the connection between the coconut industry and local cultural practices, from the religious significance of the palm to its role in traditional medicine, provides an in-depth look at the interweaving of agriculture and belief.
