    I visited Sri Lanka last year in November and December and your videos really helped me plan my trip! I landed in Colombo with no plan but your channel provided me with some great tips for places to go. Thank you! My trip lasted for about 45 days and it was so beautiful.

    You are doing an amazing thing akka. Thank you for giving your homeland a chance, and for being proud of its resources, culture and history. Its sad to see so many young people, especially here in the west, turning out to hate where they come from because the Sri Lankan community abroad doesn't do a great job at cultural exposure for the young generation. Thank you for also going out there, and listening to all the stories of our people and showing off our beautiful and diverse island, and the great potential its people and natural resources to offer. I like that you are always down to learn more than you already know, and are willing to share it with the world. Keep the Lankan content coming! You are doing your ancestors proud.

    This is a good one. The speaker uses the term "humble" to describe coconut (e.g. "this humble tree"). It's not the tree that is "humble" but the people who makes a living out of coconut, in so many ways. 😊

    Good to see you again, talking about the coconut industry. Your introduction is not complete unless you introduce the trapeze artist of the coconut toddy industry, walking on the rope tied to several trees, using only experience & balance . He is indeed an athlete, watching him moving from a great height, taking potential risks , like tripping from the rope due to strong winds, not forgetting the strings from wasps who comes to drink toddy and bad weather to name a few.

It is that in my childhood ,i my father made a shed in our garden and thatched it using weaved coconut branches. To tell the truth, we as kids craved to stay inside it , while it was raining.

    Outstanding documentary! We have a hard time getting hold of Sri Lankan products in Canada. There is a demand for coconuts and coconut based products in Canada. Based on the products in the market here, it appears this is fulfilled by other East and South Asian countries. Sri Lankan farmers and villagers in the frontline need the technological and logistics support to so they can reach markets like Canada. There are already few avenues that includes few Sri Lankan-Canadians who are working hard to build these networks. But compared to other Asian countries, I think Sri Lanka still have a long way to go in terms of reaching global markets for many of the products the country has to offer.

    Thanks for your time in explaining how valuable the coconut tree is there is a sad story behind this special tree which touches the heart and soul of the poor, now a days every part of the coconut tree is used for industrial purposes, the mass production of each and every part of the coconut tree does helps the industry to boom, the practice of doing mass production for import , the price of a coconut has increased, it is hard to find good coconut oil anymore in Sri Lanka , it is replaced by corn oil, but there is plenty of coconut oil in fancy bottles at Costco for $34 for 2.48lbs. It is another business venture for well to do.
