Es-| timating that coconut trees could | be cultivated on 1,400,000 acres of land in South Florida, the com. | | mittee states that planting would yield over four | billion nuts annually with a vate of more than $100,000,000. The number of coconut mr now bearing fruit in Florida is ‘timated at 67,200, about mi ng | fifth, the total planting, yielding | ‘an annual supply of nuts val fat $100,000 at the rate of three cents each. Most of| Florida’s coconut trees, however, | are. used for, ornamental planting! and landscaping. A very small} percentage of Florida nuts actual-| ‘ly reach consumer markets. Most | of the yield is used for souvenir! sales to tourists. The coconut tree is a transplant- | ed “native,” the. committee says. | but grows rapidly and prolifically! in Florida soil because of ideal | climatic conditions, The All Florida Committee be-| lieves a large scale coconut indu: try could be developed in Florida if more people understood the p sibilities, The coconut commercial , the world’s most important tree fruit. most of the present supply coming is from islands of the Pacific ‘lon, Africa, India and South America. Oils, butters, sugar ;and alcohol is obtained from the meat and the wood fiber is used i for making clothing, furniture,| repe and linoleum.
