A BUSINESS FOR ALL
With a DME Unit your family, farm or village community can produce virgin coconut oil (VCO) and other products to sell into your local market.
Existing DME Unit owners have received greater financial returns for their coconut oil than they could have got from producing copra.
DME Units can be operated by your local community members, family, men, and women of working age. DME is perfect for remote island and coastal communities. All you need is access to coconuts.
DME Hubs provide commercial services to owners of DME Units. Using economies of scale, DME Hubs help set up and provide ongoing support to DME Unit owners.
THE FRESHEST AND THE BEST
DME is the world's fastest method for producing virgin coconut oil. Taking less than an hour from opening the nut to pressing out the oil, DME VCO is pure, fresh and delicious. Best of all, this high-quality oil has a long shelf life and can be produced in commercial quantities.
VCO is good for cooking, eating, skin care, massage; is used to create products like soap; and it can even be used as a fuel for lamps and diesel engines. DME Units can also produce non-oil products such as desiccated coconut and coconut cream.
SUSTAINABLE, HEALTHY & ENVIRONMENTALLY FRIENDLY
No nasty chemicals makes DME VCO production healthy and safe for you and your community. Coconut is your most sustainable natural resource, so DME will be able to provide your family, farm, and village community with an income for years to come.
Using the coconut shells and husks as fuel in the DME process requires no additional fire-wood. It’s a zero-waste process that protects your environment for future generations.
