During the recent training at ATI RTC XII, Technical Staff Eljean Villasista provided an in-depth lecture and hands-on demonstration on Virgin Coconut Oil processing. The session, held at the institute's facilities, included practical demonstrations on producing a range of coconut-based products such as scented body massage oil, mature coconut juice, coconut flour, coconut toyo, and yema made from coconut.
Eljean Villasista's instruction aimed to offer participants comprehensive, firsthand experience in the production processes of these coconut products. The workshop was designed to equip attendees with the skills and knowledge necessary for creating high-quality coconut-based goods, which can be utilized personally or sold commercially.
Participants engaged actively in the practical sessions, learning the nuances of each product’s preparation and processing. The training emphasized not only the technical aspects of production but also the potential for these products to enhance personal use and open avenues for entrepreneurial ventures.
By the end of the workshop, attendees had gained valuable insights into the versatility of coconut products and the techniques required to produce them effectively. This hands-on experience is intended to empower participants to apply their new skills in their local communities, contributing to both personal and economic development.
