Coconut trees are generally spaced 9 m (30 ft) apart, allowing a density of 100–160 coconut trees per hectare. A standard tree bears around 50–80 nuts a year, and average earnings in Vanuatu (1999) were US$ 0.20 per kg (one kg equals 8 nuts)—so a farmer could earn approximately US$120 to US$320 yearly for each planted hectare.

Underwriters Laboratories recommends cleaning the lint filter after every cycle for safety and energy efficiency. [6] Failure to clean the lint filter is the leading cause of home clothes dryer fires. [7]
Coconut oil has properties that reduce protein loss in hair when used before and after wash. [9] Coconut oil is known to have lauric acid, which is a type of fatty acid that may penetrate the hair shaft due to a low molecular weight and linear conformation. [10]
