Harnessing regional ecosystems and global demand to drive capital into emerging economies.
Learn about Goodgrow’s latest sustainable venture in coconut oil production. Introducing the Faluma Project, a brand built around handcrafted, artisanal coconut extracts sourced from emerging economies. From establishing an end-to end-supply chain to illustrating a compelling story about this heritage brand, Goodgrow aims to generate economic and cultural impact at a rapid pace. This case study outlines our pilot go-to-market strategy and roadmap for social entrepreneurship in the coconut oil industry.
The global demand for coconut oil remains a critical source of revenue for emerging economies. The changing landscape of international trade presents both challenges and opportunities for would-be players in the space. Southeast Asia currently dominates the space, with 80% of the global exports market valued at approximately 4 billion as of 2023.
With current trade disputes rekindling interest in transparent, sustainable, and resilient supply chains, Goodgrow has decided to invest in the microscale production of coconut extracts, with the long-term objective of empowering artisans across the globe bring high-quality natural products to market. Notably, Central America and the Caribbean present a significant growth opportunity, as the region’s coconut oil market has shown steady expansion in recent years, with rising production and growing demand in both artisanal and commercial-scale operations.
Goodgrow’s investment in decentralized, microscale coconut oil production seeks to empower artisans and create high-quality natural products for global markets.
Regional processing in Central America reduces the carbon footprint by minimizing transportation emissions, thereby supporting decarbonization goals.
Goodgrow’s microscale coconut oil production empowers local communities, cuts emissions, and builds processing expertise — delivering sustainable, high-quality products while reducing trade risks and promoting resilient, decentralized growth across global markets.
Building on the momentum of our pilot, Goodgrow is committed to deepening our impact in the coconut products sector through targeted capital investments and strategic expansion. We invite individuals, organizations, and investors who share our vision for regenerative economics and sustainable supply chains to join us on this journey.
