The coir industry in India is a vital agro-based sector and its contributes to economic growth and job creation. The Coir Board, established by the Coir Industry Act of 1953, aims to advance the industry's growth, export of coir and its products, and improve living conditions for its employees. With over two-thirds of India's population living in rural areas, rural industrialization promotes economic growth for the nation. Coir is a versatile natural fiber extracted from husk of the coconut fruit. There are two types: brown coir fibre, derived from mature coconut husks, and white coir fibre, extracted from young green coconuts. Both types of products, are eco-friendly. However, the coir sector faces challenges such as material shortages, poor quality, high costs, low productivity, financial difficulties, production issues due to lack of modern technology, marketing issues, and inadequate infrastructure facilities.
