Dear all The Alnatura coconut milk is fortunately declared vegan. I have a few questions about this. First of all, what it's all about: One of the biggest challenges surrounding the coconut is the harvest. As the palm trees can grow up to 25 meters high and the nuts only grow at the top, people in the cultivation areas have had to find solutions time and again to bring the fruit down. In this context, you can read and see in reports time and again that monkeys are trained to harvest the coconuts in Thailand and in some regions in Malaysia. These are so-called macaques or pig monkeys, which are trained in special monkey training centers. The monkeys climb the tree and turn the nut until it falls to the ground. The animal "staff" are deployed wherever the palm trees are too high and the work is too uneconomical or too dangerous for humans. The macaques, which are closely related to the rhesus monkeys, work a six-hour day: they work from 7 to 10 in the morning and from 2 to 5 in the afternoon on palm trees that are up to 25 meters high. There are no rewards. Loafers are whipped in the old slave manner. The questions: - How fair and sustainable is the cultivation and harvesting of the coconuts used for this coconut milk? - Are the people paid fairly? - Are monkeys used on the plantation? Thank you in advance for your valuable time spent on this topic and for your efforts in giving me feedback.
Hello alexmi, thank you for your post. The Alnatura coconut milk comes from Sri Lanka. The coconuts are harvested by humans, not trained monkeys. For Alnatura raw materials from risk countries, generally recognized social standards must be demonstrably complied with. You can find detailed information on this in our Alnatua magazine from August on p.36: https://www.alnatura.de/de-de/magazin/downloads/alnatura-magazin Best regards, your M-Infoline team
