    Trends In Coconut Area And Production In India
    (1984) Prafulla K. Das; Vijayakumar, K.; Balakrishnan, P.; Damodaran, V.K.; Remabai, S.; Amarnath, C.H.
    Between 1950-51 and 1980-81 though the area planted under coconut has been quite noticeable, the production growth rate has always lagged behind the planting rate, suggesting that productivity is declining. During the 1970s, the compound growth rate of coconut yield for Kerala was (-) 2.0 per cent/annum, while the corresponding rates for the other major producing states, namely Tamil Nadu and Karnataka were 1.0 per cent and 0.17 per cent respectively. Largely influenced by Kerala, the trend in all-India productivity for the period under reference was (-) 0.9 per cent/annum. We should plan for a growth rate of 7.0 per cent to bridge the supply gap.
