A similar analogy can he applied to a consultancy service on coconut processing technology. "Registering" coconut processes applied in the APCC countries, may be a simple achievement and considered unimportant, whan one views the deluge of impressively formulated and identified objectives and programmes pouring out of international agencies and institutions. The fact i s , that the disappointments from two UR Development Decades, could be traced to the failure to execute the basic "Home Work" essential fo r achieving the ultimate objectives. UHIDO, which concieved and supervised the execution of this project, rightfully owns the entire credit for an important progransae o f meaningful benefits to APCC and APCC member countries. UHIDO has provided APCC with a firm basis from which APCC must now build and develop an essential service to those countries and individuals reliant on the coconut fo r th e ir economic su rvival. * n Godofredo P Rqyes^Jx. Director *' 13 June 1980.- IHTRQDtJCTIQM The United Natiens In d u strial Development Organisation, Vienna, funded and executed this project "Establishment o f Coconut Processing Technology Consultancy Service" for the Isian and Pacific Coconut Community- based in Jakarta* The project was in itia te d in 1978 and completed within 18 months. Coconut Processes, commercial and household, applied in the 1PCC member countries were documented in individual technology sheet® by Consultants fo r specialised areas and by the Project Manager/Coco nut Processing Technologist. Each technology sheet carries a product code, based on the Customs Cooperation Council nomenclature (GCCM) which has replaced the Brussels Tariff Nomenclature (BTN)» This fa c ilita te s easy reference to determine import or export duties, fre ig h t rates, etc , as well a® coding fo r library systems, mtosr® there are co-produets o r by product® in a process, only the main product has teen taken into consideration for coding. The immediate objective o f the project i s to make the techno logy sheets available to a ll concerned a® a "Consultancy Service" in the framework of technical cooperation among developing countries and others interested in improving the coconut processing discipline.. The technology documented is not only on major commercial processes but also on the hitherto, somewhat neglected, rural and house hold processes. These processes offer a large scope for further develop ment with appropriate and suitably scaled technology, in order to bring ateut the eomereialisatioa o f new o r improved products. The development o f tbs Coconut Processing Sector through technical cooperation in existin g commercial processes and the_ improves»at of rural and household products, could mean higher incomes and te tte r liv in g conditions for several hundred million people living in the coconut areas o f the world.
