sugar, got this off the net,
"To many indigenous island communities, the coconut sugar palm is known as the "Tree of Life" - this species (different than the Palm Oil tree) grows in diverse wild-life supportive agro-ecosystems, and can produce over 100 types of products from which farmers can earn a profitable, sustainable living. Producing 50 - 75% more sugar per acre than cane sugar while using less than 1/5th the nutrient resources, the World Bank's FAO contends that it's the single most sustainable sweetener in the world!! "
and in Indonesia there are plantations for palm oil.
