Present study intends to inspect the Coconut and copra marketing and problems associated in the marketing process of the products in Karnataka state. Karnataka state has been selected for the present study purposively. In the state, Tumkur, Hasan, Chitradurga, and Chikmagalur districts were selected for the study in the first stage, then two talukas from each selected districts were chosen based on maximum area under the crop. Ultimately 30 farmers from different villages from each of the talukas were selected.  Study concludes that, two main marketing channels are identified in the area, of them channel-II gives more profit to the farmers; further small farmers are getting low profit and because of many intermediaries involved in the marketing process and facing the problem of low return, storage, transport, high cost of inputs, lack of irrigation facilities etc.
