cortex, bark) as a machine for stripping the skin, bark, or rind off nuts, wood, plant stalks, grain, etc., in preparation for further processing. In donating the machine, Villar is optimistic that it can help boost the productivity of coconut farmers. “They will no longer use the traditional way of husking coconut,” said Villar who earns the respect
