Coconut cultivation and industry plays a vital role in the sustainability of the rural economy of many states of the country. This crop plays an important role in the socio economic structure of a country.

Among the coconut based industries such as, coir making and milling are significant and coir products constitute one of the major items of export. Coconut occupies a place of importance in the social and religious functions of the people of India. The Coconut Development Board is a statutory body set up by the Government of India for integrated development of coconut cultivation and industry in the country. Coconut provides food and livelihood security to more than 10 million people across 18 states and three UTs in the country.
