I watch your channel and i never wrote a comment. I think you are doing an outstanding job by promoting your country and how resilient your nation is. I commend you to see how passionate you are about your country. Keep up the good work and one day i might visit your country to explore your culture, the food and the kindness of your peole. ❤❤❤

[@smirglvojtechskovajsa2787]

I visited Sri Lanka last year in November and December and your videos really helped me plan my trip! I landed in Colombo with no plan but your channel provided me with some great tips for places to go. Thank you! My trip lasted for about 45 days and it was so beautiful.

[@ranseyaeventphotography]

Very first to make a video of this sort on an industry which is so close to all sri lankans. Well done and thank you!

[@Therealtuxedo]

You are doing an amazing thing akka. Thank you for giving your homeland a chance, and for being proud of its resources, culture and history. Its sad to see so many young people, especially here in the west, turning out to hate where they come from because the Sri Lankan community abroad doesn't do a great job at cultural exposure for the young generation. Thank you for also going out there, and listening to all the stories of our people and showing off our beautiful and diverse island, and the great potential its people and natural resources to offer. I like that you are always down to learn more than you already know, and are willing to share it with the world. Keep the Lankan content coming! You are doing your ancestors proud.

[@hirankj]

Thank you for doing this type of series! National level Televisions have failed to capture these and many more - only useless talent shows and teledramas. Good job!

[@baymathiya4581]

This is a good one. The speaker uses the term "humble" to describe coconut (e.g. "this humble tree"). It's not the tree that is "humble" but the people who makes a living out of coconut, in so many ways. 😊

[@Chris-xj4kk]

Great insight to the coconuts importance to the Sri Lankan economy! Thanks!

[@BLAK-sw1tn]

Recommend having these type of content in ur upcoming videos as it is very useful to get to know about our own country and abt resource utilisation

[@udareegoonaratne6313]

Love your videos as always❤ just a small thing I noticed.. Sri Lankan parents say that coconut water is as healthy as king coconut water. It is collected to a cup, so it was never gone to waste in our household😂 they make sure we drink it every morning😅

[@Sharkdododo]

Agreed! To add to it, we also save the coconut water to make Hoppers!

[@ws1814]

Awesome video! ❤ Very informative. It’s important that Sri Lankans learn about all these industries and get inspired to do something similar themselves.

[@Sheneller]

Absolutely!!

As an Interracial and Intercaste person and man who is part English,Sri Lankan and Indian race wise and Sinhalese,Telugu,Malayali and Tamilian through my ancestries,I did know about the oldest coconut factory to be formed in our Sri Lanka and the strong agricultural sector is where the country economy is heading to after that disastrous economical and political setback,good friends!!!Hats off to the respective staffs and board of directors for rescuing the nation's agricultural industry through the coconut productions and I am fully hoping to see this see this industry to be saving the environment and respective people's lifestyles to be going back to normal,good friends!!!:-D

[@wajiradharmadasa3512]

Not only the industry, but the coconut grown in Sri Lanka is so unique in nutritional value as well. This is a kind of gifted crop to Sri Lanka. you correctly forecasted the industry value of 2 billion.

[@priyanthidesilva2104]

What a very interesting and fascinating video! Thank you so much for educating us, Shanella! Loved that idea of growing so many other plants / produce in between the coconut trees. Very impressed with what SILVERMILL is doing and now I am happier than ever that this is the brand of coconut oil that I have been using for quite a while now! 😍

[@kavindibhuddikasthurirathn4560]

Thanks sister for this fabulous video. Silver mill is a one of a wonderful places in sri Lanka. I recommend their coconut oil. It's so good and gives safety for your meal. Thanks again for this interesting video.

[@chandraedirisinghe5538]

Fantastic presentation thank you again ! May Silvermill grow more and more! Also I think all the tourism stake holders should encourage the tourists to visit this location it will be a success definitely

[@NetITGeeks]

Outstanding documentary! We have a hard time getting hold of Sri Lankan products in Canada. There is a demand for coconuts and coconut based products in Canada. Based on the products in the market here, it appears this is fulfilled by other East and South Asian countries. Sri Lankan farmers and villagers in the frontline need the technological and logistics support to so they can reach markets like Canada. There are already few avenues that includes few Sri Lankan-Canadians who are working hard to build these networks. But compared to other Asian countries, I think Sri Lanka still have a long way to go in terms of reaching global markets for many of the products the country has to offer.

[@AloysiusHettiarachchi]

This is because they have realised that the easy way for success is to join the bandwagon of corruption.

[@mayaresidence2626]

Thanks a lot Mayaresidence!

[@starlitnews]

Good to see you again, talking about the coconut industry. Your introduction is not complete unless you introduce the trapeze artist of the coconut toddy industry, walking on the rope tied to several trees, using only experience & balance . He is indeed an athlete, watching him moving from a great height, taking potential risks , like tripping from the rope due to strong winds, not forgetting the strings from wasps who comes to drink toddy and bad weather to name a few.

[@farzanajabir7076]

I loved this .its amazing .coconut is so useful and can be used in many ways .most importantly nothing can replace the taste of coconut and coconut milk .Hats off to you for bringing this informative documentary on this highly potential tree

[@amandadesilva4452]

Really interesting. I remember scraping the coconut for my mum in the UK. Her coconut scraper was a bit different. You had to rotate a handle to scrape the coconut and as you say my mother was very particular about getting every last bit😉

I found your video by chance , and it is indeed , undoubtedly a vivacious , fabulous one which was so compelling that it caused me to repeat it for few times in a row.i have a sweet memory of coconut trees. It is that in my childhood ,i my father made a shed in our garden and thatched it using weaved coconut branches. To tell the truth, we as kids craved to stay inside it , while it was raining. Thank you so much. May your shadow never grow less.

[@ranjimendle299]

Thanks for your time in explaining how valuable the coconut tree is there is a sad story behind this special tree which touches the heart and soul of the poor, now a days every part of the coconut tree is used for industrial purposes, the mass production of each and every part of the coconut tree does helps the industry to boom, the practice of doing mass production for import , the price of a coconut has increased, it is hard to find good coconut oil anymore in Sri Lanka , it is replaced by corn oil, but there is plenty of coconut oil in fancy bottles at Costco for $34 for 2.48lbs. It is another business venture for well to do.
