Biofuel Project in Nacamaki, Koro, Fiji Islands : A feasibility study on the utilization of locally produced coconut oil for fuel, soap, and oil-based consumer products was carried out in March 2007 in Koro Island. A second visit was held from 30 March - 2 April 2008. The feasibility study formed the basis for a proposal to the Technical Centre for Agricultural and Rural Cooperation, ACP-EU (CTA) for financial assistance in establishing a mini-mill in the village, combined with a biofuel generator and assistance in production of soap and oil based consumer products as well as marketing of these products.
