Coconut Sector Development
The Vital Group acquired responsibility for coconut development in the FSM under Public Law 18-68, also known as the “Coconut Tree Products Act of 2013. Our Coconut Industry Development Unit (CIDU) located in Pohnpei began operations in 2014.
The Production and Quality function of the Vital Group draws focus on manufacturing for distribution that covers the processes involved from handling of raw coconut materials to producing final desired product. We undertake result-oriented planning, enterprise risk management for quality assurance, inspections and monitored operations and timely maintenance inspection of Vital assets involved.
