would be within the FRC guidance varies according to the assumed
living pattern:
A.
Live on Enjebi
*
Imported food available and a daily part of the diet
Coconuts available only from the southern islands
Waiting period - O years
B.
Live on Enjebi
No imported food available
Coconuts available only from the southern islands
Waiting period - 10-15 years
C.
Live on Enjebdi
Coconuts grown in north
Waiting time - 30-70 years depending upon
a) Whether or not food is imported
b) Whether coconuts are grown on Enjebi, and/or
c) Whether coconuts are grown on the other six
northeartern islands
If the decision already has been made to plant cocomuts on the
academic,

depending upon the
and the waiting period becomes 30 to about 65 years
availability end use of imported foods.
Of course, use of the AEC/ERDA/NOE
recommendations would extend this time period.
