Executive Summary
Executive Summary
Coconut is a vibrant and versatile palm tree grown in India and abroad. In India the major
cultivated areas being the southern part of the country. Coconut is cultivated in an area of over
1.89 million hectares in India with an annual production of 15 billion nuts and it contributes over
80,000 million rupees to the countries GDP. Owing to price fluctuation and increase in cost of
production, coconut farming has become non competitive in the recent years. Enterprise
diversification and networking for business opportunities is the key to development of the
coconut industry in India. The Business Planning and Development Unit was setup under the
NAIP component-1 as a catalyst to facilitate the coconut industry and the entrepreneurs involved
with logistic as well as technical support so that the palm crops potentials can be utilized and
diversified to the maximum level. The specific objectives of BPD unit are:
•
To promote entrepreneurship of selected business models using proven and potential
coconut value added products
•
To promote commercialization of selected technologies and their marketing
•
To provide training and consultancy in the area of coconut production and processing
technologies.
The project capitalizes on the following technologies and aims at dissemination of these
technologies for the socio economic development of the region and thrives towards sustainable
business setups for the entrepreneurs(i)
Virgin coconut oil (two methods: hot processing and fermentation)
(ii)
Coconut kernel based products (coconut chips, desiccated coconut etc.)
(iii)
Value addition to by products: Coconut water based beverages and vinegar; defatted
coconut meal based products
(iv)
Activated carbon from coconut shell
(v)
Coconut shell powder
(vi)
Coconut Milk
The project was implemented in CPCRI, Kasaragod and effective linkages were setup with
various organizations and institutions like NABARD, District Industries Centre, Coconut
Development Board, MSME, SFAC, VIA and many MOU’s were signed during the tenure.
Twenty business incubates were registered out of which two are coconut farmers producer
company, one is e-commerce portal for small farmers, two women entrepreneurs, one incubate is
already registered with another BPD unit but benefited in marketing of products from our BPD.
Sixty eight walk –ins were entertained and more than 15 entrepreneurs or farmers will register
soon. The unit has been appreciated by District Industries Centre (DIC), Kasaragod for
preparation of Detailed Project Reports (DPRs) and is now recommending to all DICs in Kerala,
with five more DPRs under preparation on request of DIC Kannur and DIC Trivandrum.
The Business Planning & Development Unit has gained good recall from local industries as well
as prospective incubates from Karnataka, Tamil Nadu , Andhra Pradesh ,Goa, Maharashtra,
Gujarat, Uttar Pradesh, Bihar and Delhi. The incubation services requested are not only in
coconut sector, but also extending to Tea, Rubber, Cocoa, Coffee, Cashew, Dairy and animal
husbandry, Fish Processing, Exports, Areca Nut, Bio-Pesticides, vegetable farming with focus on
manufacturing, processing, marketing, revenue generation and branding activities. Seven
2
Farmers Producer companies were supported out of which two were formed by initiatives taken
by unit.
India’s first Coconut Business Incubator under NAIP-ICAR, in PPP mode was setup at Pollachi,
the coconut heartland of India, with support from Vanavarayar Institute of Agriculture, a
subsidiary of famous Mahalingam group in Tamil Nadu.
The proposed incubation centre is expected to help farmers in the Pollachi Taluk of Tamil Nadu
and Chittur Taluk of Kerala with entrepreneurial innovations and commercialisation on coconut
value addition. The MoA signing was carried out in a function at VIA, in the presence of over
200 coconut farmers representing the Farmer Producers Organization.
A seminar on “Bankable technologies in coconut sector” was organized under the plan and
delegates from various banks including NABARD and DIC attended the seminar and also gave
assurance of support in form of project acceptance and help in getting it funded upon quality
submission The Activated carbon plant for coconut shell charcoal was functional during the
tenure of the project and findings were validated in due course. A separate building for the BPD
unit was also constructed under the plan which will be available for the business units who want
to startup.
Two awareness camps on various coconut technologies and value added processingswere
organised in Trivandrum and Rajamundary , which was received well by participants and fair
number of participants are willing to undergo Business incubation at BPD-CPCRI
Two Entrepreneurship Development Programs on quality and exports were conducted at
Kasaragod and Rajamundary, which will soon bear good fruits in terms of quality incubatees.
Under the BPD mandate there has been many innovation by the incubatees at CPCRI. One of the
incubate was successful in utilization of steam instead of thermal liquid in the cooker during
production of virgin coconut oil. This innovation helped in bringing down the temperature of the
VCO cooker immediately which results in a colour less oil production thereby preventing change
in undesired colour of the oil.
Another incubate of BPD-CPCRI was successful in use of bio-preservative for a packaged
coconut water beverage. Innovative means of marketing the agricultural produce was also
developed by ecommerce means by one of the incubatees of the unit.
The Business Planning & Development Unit at CPCRI, Kasaragod was established with initial
financial outlay of Rs 160 lakhs and out of which Rs 128 Lakhs have been utilised till date. One
Incubatee received export order from Italy worth Rs 10 lakhs and another is awaiting the Letter
of Credit from the buyer.
Number of exhibitions, seminars ,mela were attended to promote products of the incubatees of
BPD.

Part-II: Technical Details
1. Introduction
CPCRI has developed number of technologies having commercial importance. The institute has
transferred some of the technologies to entrepreneurs in the past. But it was observed that
entrepreneurs faced many constraints with regard to marketing, branding, availing credit,
technology backstop etc. while establishing their business. Many startup ventures were also
closed in the initial years itself for one or other reasons. To equip the startup entrepreneurs to
reduce their learning curve it was proposed to establish a Business Planning and Development
Unit (BPD) at CPCRI as part of National Agriculture Innovative Project (NAIP). Accordingly
NAIP sanctioned the project with the financial outlay of Rs.160.16 lakhs vide sanction no.
F.No.30 (1)2013/CPCRI/BPD/NAIP/O&M dated 21 May 2013.
The primary mandate of the BPD Unit, CPCRI is to promote Agribusiness in coconut, areca nut
and cocoa. With area coverage of over 1.89 million hectare and an annual production of over 15
billion nuts, the coconut sector provides ample opportunities for agribusiness. Every part of
coconut has a use and over 40 coconut products are traded globally. But in India the trade is
confined to copra, coconut oil and desiccated coconut.
The distribution of area under coconut cultivation shows that the major portion of coconut
production in the country rests with the western plains and Ghats regions comprising the states of
Kerala, Karnataka and Maharashtra followed Eastern coast plain and hilly regions comprising
Andhra Pradesh, Orissa, Tamil Nadu and Pondicherry. The entire quantum of coconuts produced
is not sold in the market.
The farmers generally retain a portion of their farm produce for
meeting seed requirement, direct consumption and payment of climber’s wages etc.
The
quantity of coconut converted to copra for milling purpose varies from state to state depending
upon the consumption pattern of coconut and its products. The Export and Import of coconut
products reveal grim situation in the country. However, it has been reported that India’s exports
earning from coconut products is increasing at the compound growth rate of 20.71% per annum
and the import of coconut and its products increases the trade deficit in the export earning of the
country. To make the country competitive globally, capacity building among small farmers,
Famer Producers Group and prospective entrepreneurs are to be attempted. Business Planning
5
and Deployment Unit, CPCRI would tap innovations in the sector, conceptualize business
opportunities, market validate and commercialize by capitalizing on its strong network among
the stakeholders.
2. Overall Sub-project Objectives
The Indian coconut sector has to be strengthened to withstand the competition from other
countries by increasing productivity and value addition. The price of coconut in India is
largely dependent on trade of coconut oil, which often experience volatile price fluctuations.
Broadening of coconut trade to other value added business would bring price stability, which
will be achieved by utilizing divergent coconut technologies.
Business Planning and
Development Unit, CPCRI, Kasaragod was set up to hasten the diversified growth of coconut
industry in India. The project has the following specific objectives.

To promote entrepreneurship of selected business models using proven and potential
coconut value added products

To promote commercialization of selected technologies and their marketing

To provide training and consultancy in plantation crops research and business
development.

4. Baseline Analysis
The
major
socio-economic
feature
of
coconut farming in India
is
that
the crop is
predominantly cultivated in small and marginal holding and with medium resource to poor farm
environment having less marketable surplus. It has been reported that the national average
productivity of coconut in India is very low i.e. around 40 nuts per palm per year.
The low
productivity of coconut crop in the country has been on account of several reasons, i.e. lack of
adoption of scientific cultivation practices to enhance productivity, scientific cultivation
practices helps in bringing down the cost of production.
More than 90% area under and production of coconut in India is confined to the four southern
states viz., Kerala, Tamil Nadu, Karnataka and Andhra Pradesh. There is a distinct difference in
the pattern of distribution of this crop in the country: Except in Kerala, coconut is not grown
9
contiguously in other states but limited to only congenial belts accounting to an insignificant
portion of the total arable agricultural area.
The entire coconut production in the country is utilized for internal consumption, and only very
little quantity of coconut products is exported to other countries. The internal consumption
comprises mainly for oil extraction, direct consumption for edible purpose, religious offerings
and retention for seed purpose.
Till recently copra making and processing (for coconut oil) was the dominant commercial
activities in the sector. Off late desiccated coconut is also catching the attention of consumers.
Owing to scientific reports on coconut as a healthy food and growing demand for natural food,
other products like Virgin Coconut Oil, coconut chips, coconut milk, and tender coconut water
(natural as well as packaged), are also finding increased consumer base.
5. Research Achievements with Summary
5.1. Preparation of business plans
Based on primary data collected from entrepreneurs and/or also using the data available at
CPCRI, Kasaragod, business plans for Virgin Coconut Oil (VCO), coconut chips, unfermented
coconut sap, and palm sugar were prepared. For preparation of business plans of Desiccated
Coconut (DC), and coconut shell powder, data collected from entrepreneurs, by personal
interview as well as secondary data were used.
5.1.1. Business plan for VCO
Virgin Coconut Oil technology is exclusively developed and marketed in India by Central
Plantation Crops Research Institute, Kasaragod Kerala. The entrepreneur will be requiring 2
cents of land with good road connectivity and proximity to coconut procurement area.
The financial analysis of the investment for VCO unit indicated that the
project has a margin money component of 30% with the Rate of Interest on
term loan and working capital as 12% and 10% respectively. There is
enough Profit Margin on the product at a selling of Rs.450/l.
10
For this project, the main financial indicators calculated for a period of 10 years of the
investment are as under:

Net Present Value Rs. 9.65 Lacs

Internal Rate of Return (IRR) = 20 %

Benefit Cost Ratio ( BCR) = 1.09

Principle amount + interest repayment time = 6-8 years
5.1.2. Coconut chips
Coconut chips are prepared by removing the moisture content of the coconut kernel partially by
osmotic dehydration using osmotic media. The dehydrated coconut chips is
in ready-to-eat form and can be used as snacks. It could also be used at any
time just like fresh kernel after rehydration of the chips.
The entrepreneur will be requiring 2 cents of land with good road
connectivity and proximity to coconut procurement area. He or she will be
provided with 25% subsidy and has to provide 30% of initial project cost as
margin money. Rest 45% of the project cost has to be sourced through
banks, funding agencies or angel investors. The project has a payback
period of 6 years.
Detailed project report for coconut chips was prepared and the financial
indicators are as follows:

Investment cost of 16 lacs

NPV of 5.04 lac,

IRR equal to 19%

BCR being 1.06.
5.1.3. Unfermented coconut sap
Unfermented coconut sap (Neera) is obtained by tapping the unopened spadix/inflorescence of
the coconut palm. Is highly nutritive and a good digestive agent. Fresh neera is sweet, oysterwhite and translucent, with a nearly neutral pH. It is a rich source of ascorbic acid and
carbohydrate. Contains minerals, proteins, high amounts of essential elements such as N, P, K,
Mg and micronutrients (B, Zn, Fe, Cu).
The detailed project report for fresh coconut sap was made and it was found that by harvesting
sap from 150 trees per day, there is a production of 82125litres per year. There is a 100%
11
recovery for the final product which can be sold @ Rs.10/200ml. With these economic figures
the unit can fetch a net income of 10.68lakhs.
5.1.4. Coconut palm sugar
Obtained by boiling freshly harvested toddy/sap in moderate heat to evaporate the water. Has a
high potential for use as natural sweetener. Contains more amount of nitrogen, phosphorus,
potassium, magnesium, sodium, chlorine, sulfur, boron, zinc and copper compared to refined
cane or brown sugar. Hence, it is more nutritious than commonly used sugar products. Good
for both diabetics and non-diabetics. Has a low glycemic index (GI). Coconut palm sugar helps
in preventing obesity.
The detailed project report for palm sugar was made and it was found that by harvesting sap
from 150 trees per day, there is a production of 82125litres per year. There is a 15% recovery for
the final product which can be sold @ Rs.350/kg. With these economic figures the unit can fetch
a net income of 10lakhs.
5.1.5. Desiccated coconut
Desiccated coconut is coconut meat which has been shredded or flaked and then dried to remove
as much moisture as possible. There are a number of different styles of desiccated coconut used
around the world, and availability of this coconut product varies, depending on the region where
one is shopping. First step in the manufacture of desiccated coconut is the selection of coconuts.
The quality of desiccated coconut depends upon the quality of coconuts used. Fully matured
coconuts of about 12 months are used for the preparation of desiccated coconut. Fully matured
nuts are stored with the husk for about one month so that the water inside the kernels is absorbed.
This also facilitates coconut kernels to get separated from shell walls. The coconuts are dehusked
and their shells are removed. The brown portion of nuts called testa is removed by scrapping it
off. About 10-15% of the kernel goes as paring by this process. These parings can be pressed out
after drying to get oil which can be used for soap making. De-shelled coconuts are broken into
pieces, washed properly and disintegrated into powders of various grades. The powder is then
dried in a drier by spreading it out uniformly in trays. The temperature in the drying chamber is
maintained at about 180 F and the powder is stirred occasionally during the drying process to
ensure uniform drying. Great care should be taken during drying. When powder is dried, it is
12
cooled and passed through a vibratory screen having different sizes (12, 14 and 16 mesh). The
segregated material is packed in oil proof, moisture proof polythene lined plywood boxes of 25
kg. It may also be packed in poly bags of 250 gm., 500 gm. and 1kg for retail sale. During the
process of manufacturing desiccated coconut, a number of byproducts such as coconut shell,
parings, and husks are obtained which may be converted into various items of great importance.
It has been worked out that 100 kg. of desiccated coconut is obtained from 1000 coconuts.

5.1.6. Coconut shell powder
Coconut shell powder is manufactured from residue shells of the matured coconuts. The
manufacture of coconut shell powder is not an organized industry in India. The product finds
extensive use in plywood and laminated board industry as a phenolic extruder and as filler in
synthetic resin glues, mosquito coils, break liners and the manufacture of agarbathis. Coconut
shell powder is preferred to be an alternate material available in the market such as bark powder,
furfural and peanut shell powder because of its uniformity in quality and chemical composition,
better properties in respect of water absorption and resistance to fungal attack.
Sales Realisation for the first year when the plant capacity attains 75% is Rs 320.59 lakhs. Net
Profit for the first year of operation is 2.75 Lakhs after Tax. The profitability is improved when
the capacity is increased and the average net profit ratio is 3.43 %. Internal Rate of Return for the
Project is 18 % and average Return on Capital employed over a period of 10 years of the project
is 12%. The Project breaks even at 86% at the first year. Debt Service Coverage Ratio during the
first seven years average to 1.92. All the above indicators support the viability of the Project.

5.2 Identified trade channel for coconut
There are huge areas of coconut plantation in southern part of India, although the prices for
coconut is determined by the trade of coconut oil. It was very important to broaden the horizons
of coconut trade in the country and the only way to do it was by involving more and more people
in coconut processing and introducing value added products and trade channels. BPD was
instrumental in introducing new products to the industry and thereby involving new entrants in
the market who were involved in value addition. Hence the coconut trade was channelized in an
organized manner between southern part of the country and the northern and western regions of
India. E-commerce were utilized to channelize the coconut produced and buying and selling was
done online.
5.3 Identified trade channels for other crops
Apart from coconut, BPD has strived towards developing a trade channel for other crops like tea,
cocoa and arecanut. A trade channel for tea is in the process of establishment between Assam
and Kerala. The tea from Assam would be channelized and distributed into the geographies of
the southern states. A trade channel for arecanut is in the process of establishment in Kerala
where the produce will be channelized for value addition.
5.4 Formation of FPO
Two FPOs where setup under the BPD unit in Kerala, Tamil Nadu and other places in order to
assist the coconut farmers in channelizing and locating their produce. The FPOs will be
instrumental in maintaining a steady price for coconut and also an assured income for the group.
It will bring assured supply of resources and raw material for the group and it is believed that
such kind of organized groups for farmers are beneficial in uplifting their socio economic
condition.
5.4 International Presence
It was found that the International Energy Drink segment is still missing the natural energy drink
products like tender coconut water, more people are gradually realizing the ill-effects of
14
sweetened carbonated beverages and turning to natural alternatives to refresh themselves. One
such opportunity was found out in European Union, first in Italy and second in Serbia and
Germany. The products have already been shipped to Italy, and expecting good response of
sampling activity in Belgrade. These two opportunities itself can provide such an opportunity
that within two months the annual produced of our Incubatee can be consumed, thus providing
the necessary impetus and encouragement to other fellow incubatees
International market for Virgin Coconut Oil was researched and Belgium was found to be most
promising, currently the negotiations are under process between our incubatee and the buyer
based in UK / Belgium .

6. Innovations
One of the incubates improvised and successfully utilized steam instead of thermal liquid for
indirect heating of VCO cooker. This innovation helped in bringing down the temperature of the
VCO cooker quickly so that the color of the product from different batches oil is uniform.
Thereby the byproducts were utilized and saved for further purposes.
Another incubate of BPD-CPCRI was successful in use of bio-preservative for packaged tender
coconut water benefitted him to receive export orders as well as market in Gujarat , Delhi, Orissa
and Uttar Pradesh. The incubatee has almost reached the Maximum production capacity of the
16
plant, there by finding scope to increase time efficiency in processing , hence re-working the
capacity of the plant to new high level.

The CPI will send the consolidated report to PIU-NAIP after compiling the progress reports
received from all the consortium partners. The report should also list the constraints (if any)
being faced by consortia partners.
The Final Report should not be a mere repetition of Annual Reports. The purpose of the
final report is to link all findings from the sub-project so that the overall achievements are
discussed in terms of scientific accomplishments, contributions to scientific, human capital
development, the relevance of findings to development, and how the information
technology is to be disseminated.
The Executive Summary should review and summarize the entire Sub-project. The
Executive Summary should clearly place sub-project accomplishments in the overall
context of agricultural development.
Summary in Hindi must be included.
Final Report should be of A-4 size and the total number of pages must not exceed 50-60 in
any case.
The text of the Final Report should be in the following format:

MS Word document

Line spacing: 1.15

Font: Times New Roman

Main headings: 12 point bold

Running text: 12 point normal
Following colour schemes to be used for cover page (front & back) by sub-projects under
different components
