Description The desiccated coconut industry is of very recent origin in this
country and has not yet developed as in other major coconut growing
regions like Ceylon and Philippines which export large quantities to
world markets1. The annual requirement of desiccated coconut in India
is estimated to be about 200 tons2 and is mostly met by imports from
Ceylon ; few small factories for the processing of desiccated coconut
have come up in the country in recent years. Several development
schemes have been launched by various State Governments during
the 2nd and 3rd Five-Year Plans to step up production of coconuts3 and
there is a great potential scope for developing the desiccated coconut
industry to meet the growing internal demand and also for exports to
acquire valuable foreign exchange. With the object of obtaining
technical information on various aspects of processing and storage of
desiccated coconut, an investigation was undertaken and the preliminary
results obtained are briefly presented in this communication. For
the benefit of industry, project cost data are also included.
