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.
