ne Barber of ACO, most of the interest is coming from Australian and New Zealand companies that manage farms in Fiji.“In the last two years, we’ve received a considerable increase in interest from companies wanting to certify their coconut oil,” says Barber.
On the back of the surge in demand, Family-owned company Nature Pacific says that it is on target to hit 70 percent growth in its Banaban organic coconut oil range.
Brynley King of Nature Pacific says that the demand for certified organic coconut oil is reflective of consumers’ desire for products that are free from pesticides and chemicals.
“Australian Certified Organic has very strict guidelines and companies like ourselves get audited once a year, right down to every batch and product we manufacture. We can trace every litre of our Banaban Organic Virgin Coconut Oil to the day it was picked and processed.”
