According to the CDB’s estimates for 2014-15, the coconut production within the country is anticipated at 20,000 million nuts, which is comparatively a drop of ten per cent compared to 2013-14.
There are several coconut products, out of all these the share of activated carbon alone in the exports accounted for Rs.557.80 crore.
The primary raw material used for activated carbon is any organic material with high carbon content. As coconut shells are very common for it they are currently fetching a lot of money. Export of dry coconut to Pakistan accounted for Rs.183.06 crore.
