No need to register, just come if interested. We are doing scientific based studies to determine the potential value to Hawaii. There are no plans to grow this in our native forests which provide our water reservoirs. Our intent is to see it grown on small holder lots with joint activity to establish community based extraction center. Refining of the fruit oil for cooking can also be a local process. The kernal oil probably should not be eaten but is a very fine oil usable as a machine oil and both oils can be used in making biodiesel. As a cooking oil it can be reprocessed at, for example, the King's Biodiesel plant at Shipman park which gives it a nice dual purpose use. For its health benefits, it is similar to olive oil and has been used for over 4,000 years in the African world. See red palm oil on the web or go to:

We are very interested in establishing a sustainable, home grown product that can provide us with a locally produced fuel and cooking oil and are taking matters to do this into our own hands since there is no desire to invite costly corporate interests into the picture and the University system and state of Hawaii still has not made inroads into the problem of having our own sustainable oil crop.
