Coconut water energy drink project floated

The energy drink craze in the United States has created a new niche for local coconut water

It may not be a game-changer as far as foreign investment in the Guyana economy is concerned but the recent announcement that coconut water imported into the United States from Guyana could be used in the manufacture of an energy drink that will target the high-end US market has already set tongues wagging in the region.
