Boyce to Help Develop Coconut Clusters in India

India is currently leading in Coconut production compared to the other large coconut producing nations like Srilanka, Indonesia, Philipines, etc. In India, South India leads in producing coconuts. According to coconut development board in Kerala, Kerala and Tamilnadu are the major producers of Coconuts. 50% of the production goes for house hold consumption, the rest goes in making other coconut products like the desiccated coconuts powder, coconut oil, etc.

As a Coconut shell based activated carbon manufacturer, we see the coconut clusters are highly displaced at least in south India and we need to integrate them to the coconut producing farms.  we need to constantly look at increasing production of coconuts to retain the lead among the other producing countries.

The charcoal manufacturers in Kangayam, Tamilnadu and nearby areas pick up coconut shell from the Copras and use to make charcoal. The reason for kangayam and near by areas are known for the charcoal production is because of its coconut oil producing companies and additionally kangayam is known for its high temperature that helps in drying the coconut shells soon.

Coconut shells from kerala reach this place through Pollachi. traders pick up coconut shells from different copras in kerala and sell it in pollachi. Pollachi is a hub for all charcoal and coconut shell powder manufacturers to pick up raw material.

Given this scenario, the coconut board should help and encourage the farmers to sell coconut shells to the charcoal manufacturing units directly than through the middle man. A Neither the charcoal manufacturer or the farmer gets reasonable price.

Boyce carbon is planning to help the clusters in strategic locations to sell the shells directly to the manufacturing unit in Tamilnadu. this will give farmers to exercise control on the price that they sell it to the units and charcoal making units will also buy shells from these clusters directly. this will give them control on selling price.
