Entrepreneur's MCO venture sees demand for coconut shell charcoal

An enterprising individual here has found an innovative way to earn extra income by collecting discarded coconut shells and processing them into charcoal.

Muhammad Sabri Che Mansor, 32, said he ventured into the enterprise with a friend during the Movement Control Order period.

At the end of last year, however, he decided to venture on his own due to the high demand from customers.

He said due to his work as a heavy machinery operator at the Kemubu Agricultural Development Authority in Bachok, he processed coconut shell charcoal up to four times a week, based on the demand.

He said work would start at 9am with the coconut shells collected earlier for processing.

All while their cousins to the North engage in industries that even Moses’s grandfather would be familiar with.
