CPS, CPF & CPC Formation Progress
The Board has initiated the formation of Coconut Producer Societies (CPS) by associating
40-100 coconut growers in a contiguous area with a consolidated minimum of 4000-5000
palms. The objective is socio economic upliftment of the farmers through productivity
improvement, cost reduction, efficient collective marketing and processing and product
diversification. A farmer equity contribution is also proposed to be mobilized.
A matching equity contribution will be sought from the state Government as a one
time assistance for making the CPS effective.
