Origin and Distribution of Coconut . Economic Importance and Varieties OBJECTIVES: students will . Explain the origin and distribution of coconut correctly. Discuss the economic importance of coconut accurately. Identify and differentiate between the varieties of coconut without hesitation. Origin and Distribution of Coconut Botanical name: Cocos nucifera Family: Palmae . The center of origin seemed to be in or around Malaysia or Indonesia. It is now grown between the tropics of Cancer and Capricorn at loe elevations. It cannot thrive at high altitudes with cold climate. Major coconut growing areas are the Philippines, Indonesia, India, Sri Lanka, Pacific Islands, Venezuela, Guyana, Trinidad and Tobago and Bahamas. A fair amount of coconut is grown in Brazil. In most countries, coconuts are a small holder's crop and are planted together with crops like bananas, cinnamon and vanilla. Economic Importance of Coconut . It is one of the most useful trees in the world and is often referred to as the "tree of life". It provides food, fuel, cosmetics, folk medicine and building materials, among many other uses. The inner flesh of the mature seed, as well as the coconut milk extracted from it, forms a regular part of the diets of many people in the tropics and subtropics. Coconuts are distinct from other fruits because their endosperm contains a large quantity of clear liquid, called coconut water or coconut juice. Mature, ripe coconuts can be used as edible seeds, or processed for oil and plant milk from the flesh, charcoal from the hard shell, and coir from the fibrous husk. Dried coconut flesh is called copra, and the oil and milk derived from it are commonly used in cooking, frying in particular as well as in soaps and cosmetics. Economic Importance of Coconut . The hard shells, fibrous husks and long pinnate leaves can be used as material to make a variety of products for furnishing and decoration. The coconut has cultural and religious significance in certain societies, particularly in India, where it is used in Hindu rituals. It forms the basis of wedding and worship rituals in Hinduism, a coconut religion in Vietnam, and features in the origin myths of several societies. The falling nature of their mature fruit has led to preoccupation with death by coconut.

These are mostly planted for commercial production. They grow to a heaight of 20-30m and start bearing after 6 to 7 years after planting. They are normally cross pollinated. The nuts are medium to large in size and 4000-6000 nuts usually yield 1 ton of copra. The tall palms are hardy and will thrive on different soil types and under different environmental conditions. The Tall types existing in the Guyana are the Jamaica Tall and the Panama Tall, each consisting of two basic colour forms: Green and bronze. The Jamaica Tall bears long, angular nuts with distinct ridges and a thick mesocarp. De-husked, its nuts are also angular and pointed at the end. On the other hand, the fruits of the Panama Tall are much more spherical with thinner mesocarp. These two types may be considered the ‘original’ Tall types in Guyana. Varieties of Coconut Tall Palms (variety typica) Atlantic Tall Panama Tall Jamaica Tall Varieties of Coconut Dwarf variety ( variety –nana) • They are short and 8-10m high the most, when they are 20 years old. • They start to bear about the third year when they are less than 1 m high. • Maximum production is reached at 20-25 years. • Commercial Dwarf types are mainly of the green and yellow ‘3-year’ (three years to begin production) variants. • The Green Dwarf is similar to the Brazilian Green Dwarf in growth habit, number of nut per bunch and size of nuts. • The Yellow Dwarf, however, is different from the Malaysian Yellow Dwarf, in having a larger nut size and a less intense yellow colour in petioles and epicarps of the nuts. • A third Dwarf type variant is the Red Dwarf (Orange Dwarf), restricted mainly to the Pomeroon River area. • Another variant, the Bronze Dwarf (so-called because of its bronze epicarp), is a relatively new find of about four years ago. Varieties of Coconut Dwarf variety ( variety –nana) Red Malaysian Green Malaysian Bronze Review . Write an essay with not less than 100 words on the Importance of Coconut to Guyana.

Silvana Sinar2, Aron Meko Mbete3, Eddy Setia4 1,2,3,4 Departement of Linguistics, Postgraduate School, University of Sumatra Utara (Indonesia) Abstract: This article studies the KelambiR’s eco-lexicals(KEL) in Serdang Malay (SM). It focuses on the collection of KEL that contains the stocks of local knowledge in SM. The data are obtained by interviewing, observing and documenting. The method used in this study is qualitative. The eco-lexicals in connection to kelambiR‘coconut’ areprimarily examined by using the perspectives of the followings, such as, the inter- relationship, diversity, and environment. To analyze the meanings of those lexicals, the researchers use the external referential, semantics, and the anthropolinguistic concept ofcultural meanings. The findings show that the KEL and expressions are regarded as part of SM’s natural resources, language, and culture. The old generations know, understand and use such lexicon and its life principles. However, the situation in the past is contrary to the fact that young generations, today, rarely use KEL, and even do they not recognize and/or understand such words. Keywords: Eco-linguistics, eco-lexicals, environment, KEL, and Serdang Malay I. Introduction 1.1 Background Serdang Malay(SM) is the mode of Malay culture in one area or the central culture of Malay in Deli Serdang and Serdang Bedagai Districts in North Sumatra(Indonesia),in which the Malay Sultanate (MS)was ever getting a fame in its time.

  • Summarized by © Lakhasly.Com the Coconut Tree (Cocos Nucifera) Is
    The coconut tree (Cocos nucifera) is a member of the palm tree family (Arecaceae) and the only living species of the genus Cocos.[1] The term "coconut" (or the archaic "cocoanut")[2] can refer to the whole coconut palm, the seed, or the fruit, which botanically is a drupe, not a nut. The name comes from the old Portuguese and Spanish word coco, meaning 'head' or 'skull' after the three indentations on the coconut shell that resemble facial features. They are ubiquitous in coastal tropical regions, and are a cultural icon of the tropics. It is one of the most useful trees in the world, and is often referred to as the "tree of life". It provides food, fuel, cosmetics, folk medicine and building materials, among many other uses. The inner flesh of the mature seed, as well as the coconut milk extracted from it, forms a regular part of the diets of many people in the tropics and subtropics.
