    Women empowerment

    Most of the coir units in the country are located in rural areas and the workers belong to economically and socially weaker sections of the Society. It is estimated that 80% of the workforce in this sector are women and hence the industry contributes significantly to women empowerment.Coir industry is of great economic significance to the coconut producing States of the country as coconut husk, the raw material for Coir industry, is available in abundance in regions of concentrated coconut cultivation and this can be used for generation of employment and income to a sizeable number of people with relatively low investment. The promotion of the industry in the traditional and non-traditional coir producing states has enhanced employment opportunities and generation of income in the rural sector of the respective states of Kerala, Tamil Nadu, Karnataka, Andhra Pradesh, Telangana, Odisha etc.
    Coir- The Fibre of Future

    Coir is one of the most ethnic, eco-friendly, hygienic and versatile fibres that can substitute wood, plywood and MDF boards (medium-density fibre-boards).  

    The composites of Coir are made out of a combination of two or more materials to achieve superior properties than that of its other components. Therefore, the coir ply can be reinforced with plantation wood like rubberwood veneer, for better properties without destroying natural forests. Coir materials are resistant to termite and borer attacks, flame retardant, boiling water, and free from fungal growth. The nail holding properties are better than MDF as a result of long-staple fibre. 

    Recently, the Coir Board initiated a series of product development and diversification activities that have helped to launch a number of value-added products to meet consumer needs. 

    New end-use applications of coir like the use of Coir Geotextiles for preventing soil erosion, conversion of Coir Pith into valuable bio-fertiliser and soil conditioner and Coir Garden articles have gained popularity in India and abroad. 

    Moreover, since there has been a growing affinity towards environment-friendly products worldwide, the coir and coir products have seen increasing demands in domestic as well as foreign markets.

    Today, the Coir industry is opening up new avenues for the utility of its products while simultaneously moving to Pan India given the popularisation of the schemes and services initiated by the government. 

    The government initiatives to develop the Coir industry is providing employment opportunities to the rural population, especially women, while also reviving the traditional Indian Industry and taking it to the international market.

    Materials Required To Start A Coir Processing Unit
    • Raw materials

    The primary raw material for setting up a coir business is coconut husk. Its interior comprises numerous layers of fibre called coir or fibre.

    • Location

    Establishing a coir processing unit in a rural area with many coconut plantations is best for the coir business. In addition to lowering the cost of workers, this also reduces the transportation costs for raw materials.

    • Land

    The coir business must have at least 1 acre of land for setting up a coir extraction unit because the unit requires a lot of space-consuming machinery. Usually, a large shed is used to set up all the equipment. Coconut husks, the raw material, are kept in huge piles outside the plant.

    • Water

    Water is a necessary resource for a coir processing unit to function. Once the raw coconuts are plucked from the tree, the husks must be softened by retting them in huge water tanks for more extended periods. The fibre is occasionally cleaned under a stream of running water to remove any debris.

    • Vehicle

    A coir processing plant needs a commercial vehicle, such as a small truck or a tractor. Because extracting fibre from coconut requires a lot of coconuts. The business will also produce 1-2 tons of fibre daily, which is difficult to store over time. Consequently, owning a vehicle simplifies transporting goods whenever necessary.

    • Workers

    A coir processing unit is best run with 3 to 4 employees. While the other workers can focus on loading and unloading supplies and spreading the extracted coir fibre out over open spaces, one person will be in charge of supervising the machinery. You can increase your number of employees once your production capacity has been raised.

    • Electricity

    A significant amount of power is needed for the coir processing unit. The coir unit’s total power consumption is between 40 and 50 horsepower, or 38 kW. It will take up to 304 Kw/h to run the plant for 8 hours daily.
