CHAPTER – III

COIR INDUSTRY-CURRENT STATUS

been in areas where there is concentration of coconut

cultivation and availability of coconut husks. Kerala

being the home state of Coir Industry with traditional

skill for the production of quality export oriented,

value added, Coir products provide employment

to large number of artisans. Due to the expansion

of Coconut cultivation to other States viz., Tamil

Bengal, Assam, and Tripura, the Coir Industry took

roots in these States for generating employment for

rural artisans. Tamil Nadu has emerged as one of the

CHAPTER – V

EXPORT MARKET PROMOTIONExport Promotion is one of the thrust areas

being emphasized by Coir Board for the sustainable development of the Indian coir industry. Being a traditional and export oriented industry, any fluctuations in the export trend have a direct bearing on this industry. The major export promotional tools implemented by Coir Board in association with trade and industry are participation in international fairs in India and abroad on a focus - country/product basis, international seminar and conferences, organizing workshops, undertaking publicity through specialized trade magazines, extending external market development assistance to exporters for various export promotion activities encouraging exports and export related activities by presenting national coir industry awards etc. The Board is also extending statutory support such as grant of registration as exporter, issue of RCMC, issue of Certificate of Origin etc. in addition to facilitating the trading community on various aspects such as taxation, shipping, incentive schemes under the Foreign Trade Policy etc.

In line with the Honourable Prime Minister’s initiative and the Ministry of MSME, Government of India’s launching of new service called Udyog Aadhar, Coir Board made it mandatory for online filing of UAM for issue of all certificates and availing of financial assistance.

All these efforts helped the coir industry to increase its global competitiveness overcoming the various de-motivating factors such as economic turbulence in export markets like USA, EU etc., cascading effects of global recession, fluctuation of trading currencies, voluminous nature of coir products and subsequent reduced loadability, compulsory transhipment even after operationalization of International Container Transhipment Terminal (ICTT) at Vallarpadam, high freight rate, increased port charges, low unit value realization etc. The performance of the programmes along with physical achievements is furnished in the table below:

coir products in the Coir Board Pavilion. Visitors

evinced keen interest on coir products especially

the innovative coir wood furniture articles exhibited.

In accordance with the policy of the Government

of India that Government organizations should

withdraw from production and direct sales activities,

Coir Board conducted a meticulous and detailed

review on the consignment system of sales being

followed by Coir Board and it was revealed that the

system does not yield the desired results neither

in capturing the market potential nor in helping the

manufacturers, for timely sales of their products.

Accordingly, Coir Board has decided to withdraw

from direct sales and to set up a Portal based

Marketing System of Suppliers and Franchisees

connected through the trade portal. Coir Board and

its Showrooms will be concentrating on promotional

activities for marketing of coir products and

monitoring of Franchisees. Thus, a proposal on ‘New

Marketing Strategy’ has been prepared and the work

of designing & development of the marketing portal

is progressing.

CHAPTER – VII

SCIENCE & TECHNOLOGYCoir Board is implementing various plan

schemes and programmes for the overall and

sustainable development of coir industry. The Plan-

S&T scheme of the Board has been framed with a

view to modernise this traditional industry where

age-old equipments and technologies are being

used. The modernisation efforts are aimed towards

improvement in productivity, enhancement in quality

and also elimination of drudgery.

Innovative R&D on coir is taken up by the Board

through the two research institutes viz. the Central Coir

Research Institute, Kalavoor, Alappuzha, Kerala and

the Central Institute of Coir Technology, Bangalore.

The Central Coir Research Institute, Alleppey was

established in 1959 and the Central Institute of Coir

Technology, Bangalore in 1980. Whereas CCRI,

Kalavoor concentrates on research concerning both

the white and brown fibre sectors, CICT, Bangalore

confines its research effort to the brown fibre sector.

Identification of new user areas for utilization of coir

and coir waste (coir pith), modernization of production

infrastructure for elimination of drudgery in manual

operation thereby attaining higher productivity and

improvement in quality are integral parts of the

research efforts. Research investigations through the

Institutes of the Board have led to the development of

several new technologies for the coir industry.

The R&D activities of the Board are focussed on

the following areas:

i. Modernization of Production Processes in coir

sector. This starts from extraction of fibre from

husk to manufacturing of value added products.

It includes achieving higher productivity,

enhanced earnings, reduction of drudgery in

operations and evolving eco friendly production

processes.

ii. Design and Development of innovative and

modern machinery to achieve higher productivity,

cost effectiveness and improvement in quality.

iii. Product Diversification by blending coir with

other natural fibres.

iv. Development of appropriate technologies for the

promotion of eco friendly production processes

and to study the extent of reduction of carbon

emission due to usage of coir products.

v. Establishment of technology incubation centres

for carrying out extension work, Technology

Transfer to entrepreneurs and the trade,

conducting field demonstrations, technical

testing services etc.

vi. Incentive for manufacture of coir products

using natural dyes and for obtaining IPR for

successful development of new products,

processes machinery etc. Formulation of

policies in respect of Intellectual Property Rights

(IPRs), i.e. Patents, Designs, Trade Marks and

Geographical indications of goods etc. are also

gaining attention.

During the year under report, the ministry

had released Rs. 300.00 lakhs for implementing

programmes under Plan-S&T scheme.

I. MODERNIZATION OF PRODUCTION

In-House production of PITHPLUS, for

composting of coir pith and its supplies

to entrepreneurs research on extraction of

nanocellulose, bio oils and sodium lignosulponate

from coir pith were continued. A Coir Net house has

been set up at CCRI to conduct a study on the use of

C-POM for the cultivation of vegetables/ horti plants.

Installation and demonstration of two instruments

namely Particle Size Analyzer and Inductively

Coupled Plasma- Optical Emission Spectrometer

(ICP-OES) were conducted in the Coir pith testing

38

laboratory for the elemental analysis/ particle size

distribution of samples of coir pith. Routine chemical analysis, Phytosanitary tests for coir pith samples from different industries/enterprises were also carried out.

Research and Development activities on coir fibre for quality improvement by bio bleaching, bio softening and biological treatment of coir retting effluent were also continued. The following collaborative projects were commenced/continued during this period.

1. Development of Commercial bioformulation of plant growth promoting Rhyzobacteria (PGPR) using coir pith as carrier, a Project with CSIR, NEIST, Jorhat.

2. Development and demonstration of coir fibre & coir pith products for rubber root trainer Nurseries in the North East region.

3. Development of an appropriate product by studying the possible use of coir dust in oil industry with reference to North-East India for absorption of oil spill (NEIST, Jorhat).

The production of PITHPLUS, Biochem and testing of coir pith / coir fibre in the Pilot Scale Laboratory were continued at CCRI.

Operations of the Pilot Scale Laboratory (PSL) at CCRI yielded a revenue of Rs. 12,52,173.00.

II. DEVELOPMENT OF MACHINERY AND

Under this programme the activities are confirmed to the elimination of drudgery in operations, improvement in productivity and quality and to bring out cost effectiveness.

It also envisages the development of improvised version of machinery for spinning coir yarn, extraction of coir fibre, weaving coir products etc.

• Fabricated a prototype of single ply coreless

single head spinning machine

• Fabricated a new MFEM for production of good

quality of fibres.

• Fabricated 2 nos. of platforms for motorized

direct shear apparatus machine for production

of diversified coir products.

• Extended assistance to operationalize the

MFEM and semi Automatic loom at different

sites.

• Maintenance work of different machines/ratts

etc. were undertaken and completed during the

reporting period.

• Screen printing on hand made paper has been

installed at the Coir Technology Incubation

Centre.

• Uday loom (4 Nos.) were installed at Dudda in

Karnataka state, Ithamuzhi in Tamil Nadu state.

• Designed a new Electrical control panel and

installed in power loom (2 Nos.) at Hindustan

coir.

• Old brush making machineries, slivering

machine and automatic spinning machine were

overhauled and made operational at NCT & DC

for training purpose.

• The trials on the garden article making machine

were completed and dies of different designs

were developed to manufacture the garden

articles like coir basket liner, mulch mats,

cocopoles, vertical garden boxes, seedling

pots etc. The manufacture of the product was

demonstrated with a view to motivate the

entrepreneurs for starting an industry.

• A mini web forming machine was designed and

technical assistance given to the machinery

manufacturer to fabricate the machine.

Automatic looms are available for weaving

matting with increased production and reduced

39

drudgery of weaving. The automatic looms were

not available and had to be imported causing

huge investment. CCRI had developed a Semi

Automatic Loom. The break motor attachment is an

advantageous development in the weaving sector

of the coir products which eliminated the frequent

impact of the clutch. The loom was launched by Shri.

Kalraj Mishra, the Hon’ble Minister for MSME.

Circular woven coir geo bag is a new innovation

in the coir industry. The circular woven fabric in the

form of bags woven on coir looms eliminates the

process of stitching the coir fabric in to bags. The

geo fabric woven in the form of bag is a natural item

ready to use by onsite filling with sand or other filling

materials available locally and is easily be used for

the protection of banks of sea, river, canal, back

water and mud wall reinforcement. The use of coir

geo bags reduces the cost of heavy materials like

rocks, concrete beams, logs and eliminates the

drudgery of transportation of Cocologs to the sites.

The bags can be produced in different dimensions

and length against requirement and qualities like

existing coir geo textiles according to the end use.

III. PRODUCT DEVELOPMENT &

• Trainings on spinning of thin yarn, weaving of different variety of fabrics, winding of bobbin, cops etc. were imparted to the candidates for Artisan’s Training Course, Advanced Training Course and Short Term Training courses at NCT&DC.

• Operations of the Mechanized looms (Jacquard, Pile wire Loom and Semi Automatic Loom) and the new products developed were demonstrated to the VIPS, visitors and students from different institutions.

• Developed diversified products using coir fibre, coir yarn mixed with natural fibres in different patterns for varied applications.

• Developed different varieties of thin yarn by blending with other natural fibres.

• Developed fine fabric covering eri noil silk over coir yarn. The fabric made out of this was used for the production of different life style products of coir.

The coir cell geo textile is a new innovation in

the application of coir geo textiles for the vegetation

in the mine dumps. The pockets woven in the geo

40

textile holds the packing material. Seed and manure

can be inserted in the pockets before laying. It also

avoids spreading fertile soil in the top of the mine

dumping yards. The product was launched by Shri.

Giriraj Singh, the Hon’ble Minister of State for MSME.

• Developed different qualities of thin fabric with

coir and silk that can be used as furnishing

materials for sofas and for making Jackets,

Bags, Curtains etc. and some life style products

from Coir Silk Wrapped fabric like conference

bags, shoulder hanging bags, Jackets, Table

cloths, Mourzouks etc. All the diversified

products developed were show cased in the

exhibitions and fairs organized by the Board

and other institutions.

casted in the rubber moulds. The initial trials are Nayagola Road to Narkheda Khadya - MPRRDA, PIU-1, Vidisha

NIT Trichi - Laying and rolling of aggregate

41

found to be successful and further experiments

are under progress.

ii. Coir composite doors with coir and wood

combinations were evolved. Speciality of the

product is that the items could be carved in

wood machines and worked similar to wood.

This product has potentials for a bright future in

the market.

iii. Coir medals: Coir Board sponsored the medals

for the event Spice Coast Marathon-2015 held

at Kochi on 15th November 2015. Instead of

conventional brass medals natural coir medals

were designed by the CICT. A special dye was

designed and fabricated to manufacture the

medals. About 4000 medals were manufactured

and provided to the runners in the Marathon.

CHAPTER – IX

HINDUSTAN COIRThe Indian Coir Industry has been traditionally

a cottage industry confined to handloom sector.

In order to meet the challenge from the competing

countries in the world market, the Government of

India decided to introduce mechanization in the

Coir Industry in a phased manner. Accordingly,

it was decided to mechanize one third portion of

the production of coir mattings. As a part of this

decision, the Hindustan Coir was established in

the year 1969 with five imported power looms and

58 workers. Subsequently one more loom was

installed and the number of loom was increased

to six. Two shift systems was adopted for the

production. Subsequently the number of employees

was reduced to 38 but the two shift system was

continued. Since 2009-2010, the single shift system

was introduced with 26 employees for attaining

the optimum production. The staff strength was

gradually decreased.

Hindustan Coir, a power loom matting

manufacturing unit, functioning under the Coir Board

has been engaged in the production of quality

power loom matting using the existing infrastructure

available at the unit especially the looms which

were imported 47 years back. It is performing

almost well due to the timely overhauling and proper

maintenance. Most of the spare parts of the looms

have been replaced with Indian made spares. The

Mechanical Staff in the factory are capable to manage

all types of mechanical problems of the machineries.

The unit had been running with shortage of working

capital and lack of marketing strategies before few

years. During the period under report the working

capital position was improved by augmenting the

sales of mattings through Coir Board Showrooms

and Hindustan Coir Sales Outlet. During the period

under report the factory faced acute shortage of

quality coir yarn. This resulted in decrease in the

production.

Hindustan Coir produces coir matting in several

attractive patterns with various colour schemes. At

present only five looms are engaged for production.

During the year 2015-2016 the factory could produce

0.52 lakhs Sq.mtrs of mattings, a monthly average

of 4352 Sq.Mtrs. A total quantity of 0.52 lakhs Sq.

Mtrs. of matting valued at Rs.176.00 lakhs was

produced during the year under report as against

a total quantity of 0.94 lakhs Sq. Mtrs. valued at

Rs.316.99 lakhs during the corresponding period of

the previous year.

The quality of coir matting is ensured by adopting

strict quality control measures. Head Jobman/

Supervisors were posted in the factory for inspection

and checking of the quality starting from procurement

level of coir yarn until the packing and loading of

matting. Each lot of dyestuff and chemicals used

for dyeing and bleaching of coir yarn were tested to

ensure its quality and strength of the dyestuff. The

power loom matting from Hindustan Coir has already

gained popularity in major cities and towns in India

because of its quality.

During the period under report, Coir Mattings

worth Rs.293.32 lakhs was despatched to Coir Board

Showroom & Sales Depot situated all over India

on consignment basis as against Rs.407.06 lakhs

during the corresponding period of the previous

year. The major portion of the matting produced in

Hindustan Coir were sold through the Show Rooms

of the Coir Board all over India. Around 10 % of the

sales are affected at Hindustan Coir Sales out let as

factory sales. Coir Board’s Showrooms located at

different cities in India are the major outlet for the

sales of Hindustan Coir mattings. There is a good

49

demand for the mattings produced at Hindustan

Coir since it stands for quality. Hindustan Coir

mattings constitute around 25% of the total sales

of the Board’s Showrooms. In order to boost the

sales, Hindustan Coir has set up the Sales Outlet in

its premises near the National Highway.

Hindustan Coir could make total sales of

Rs.33.81 lakhs during the period 2015-2016,

including the sales of C-pom and other coir

products through the Franchisees. A Souvenir

shop is functioning alongwith the International Coir

Museum, Kalavoor under Hindustan Coir for selling

various coir products and coir handicraft items. The

total sales through Souvenir shop for the period from

01.04.2015 to 31.03.2016 is Rs.5.31 lakhs.

After making loss for the past few years the

factory came up with the profit from 2010-2011

to 2015-2016. During the period under report,

Hindustan Coir matting worth Rs. 415.37 lakhs

were sold through Coir Bhavans of the Board upto

31.03.2016 as against the sales of Rs. 386.61 lakhs

during the corresponding period of last year. In

addition to the above, matting worth Rs. 65.73 lakhs

were sold directly from the factory (including sales

through Franchisees and Souvenir shop) during the

period under report upto 31.03.2016 against the sale

of Rs.62.54 lakhs during the corresponding period of

the last year.

CHAPTER – X

INDUSTRIAL DEVELOPMENTCoir Industry is a labour intensive and export

oriented industry employing more than 7.21 lakhs

persons. The decentralized operations in the coir

industry without adequate training of spinners and

weavers have been posing problems particularly for

ensuring the desired level of quality in the ultimate

products. Inferior quality may ultimately turnout

to be detrimental to the concerted efforts towards

overall development of the industry and also its

survival, particularly it being a traditional product.

Under the Skill Development Scheme different kinds

of activities viz. Training Value Added Products

manufacturing, Mahila Coir Yojana, Subsidy for

distribution of motorized ratts/motorized traditional

ratts and other coir processing equipments which

can be operated by women under Mahila Coir

Yojana, Entrepreneurship Development Programme,

Exposure Tour and Seminar were undertaken by

Coir Board through Regional Offices/Field Training

Centres. The physical and financial achievements

The principal thrust of the Development of Production

Infrastructure Scheme of the Ministry of MSME being

implemented through the Coir Board, a statutory

body under the administrative control of Ministry

of MSME, is on development of infrastructure for

the sustainable development of coir sector. The

scheme envisages provision of financial assistance

for setting up new coir units and modernization of

existing units for the sustainable growth of the coir

sector. Due to the extension of coconut cultivation

to non-traditional coconut producing states, coir

51

industry also expanded its activities to such states

with the assistance of the Coir Board for development

of infrastructure for setting of coir units.

The scheme is in operation since 7th Five Year

Plan and continuing implementation with increased

quantum of assistance. Coir Board, Kochi is the

Nodal Agency. The scheme is being implemented

through the Regional/Sub-Regional Offices of the

Coir Board in association with District Industries

Centres (DIC’s) of the respective State. The scheme

will be monitored by Ministry of Micro, Small and

Medium Enterprise (MSME).

Disbursal of subsidy will be ensured by the

Coir Board within a period of three months from

the date of receipt of eligible applicant who meet

the requirements stipulated as per the operational

guidelines of the scheme. All new coir processing

units registered with Coir Board under Coir Industry

(Registration) Rules, 2008 and registered with the DIC

of the region of the entire coir sector of the country

with project cost exceeding Rs.10 lakhs or more than

the ceiling of CUY Scheme are eligible for assistance

under the scheme. Subsidy will be provided @ 25%

of the project cost subject to a maximum of Rs.6

lakhs for setting up of Coir Fibre Extraction Unit, Rs.

4 lakhs for Automatic Spinning Unit and Rs. 5 lakhs

for others, including Coir Pith Unit. For a composite

or a Multiple Unit, the maximum monetary ceiling of

assistance would be Rs. 9 lakhs. A unit which has

availed financial assistance would be eligible for

financial assistance under modernization only after

successful running of the unit for a minimum period

of 3 years. The assistance under modernization

scheme will be limited to the new work sheds that

are to be put up and new equipments for the unit.

The skill development courses are proposed to be as per National Skill Development Mission and to achieve the vision of “Skilled India”. The main aim is to mapping of existing skills and their certification.

The following are the broad outcomes expected from implementation of NSQF as per the scheme.

1 Coir artisans need to be provided with market linkages and intelligence to earn a sustainable living from craft. Creating an ecosystem where artisans have ready access to raw material, working capital, customer knowledge, design capabilities and reliable sales channels alongside health and insurance benefits to revive the sector.

2. Need to educate the coir artisans about raw materials and the products used and also how to market them. Training should be focused on how to produce and what to produce and proper education regarding use of materials and production.

3 Coir artisans should be properly guided to gain an understanding of customers and market their products in exhibition and fairs. Artisan organized fashion shows should be part of training curriculum, which could teach them event management and marketing skills.

4. Coir artisans should be properly guided about availability of proper infrastructure in order to improve productivity and bring in a higher level of consistency in products.

5. Special focus is also given to skill gaps on spinning(yarn), weaving, dyeing, finishing, products design and labeling as per the incremental human resource requirement.

6. Industry Classification coverages as per NIC (National Industrial Classificatiion) on manufacturing of various coir products will be emphasized in the training module as per skill development.

55

The scheme is intended to provide self

employment to rural women artisans in coir producing

regions. Over the last two decades, production

of coir fibre has substantially increased in India.

Conversion of coir fibre into yarn on motorized ratts

in rural households provides scope for large scale

employment, improvement in productivity and quality

of coir fibre, better working conditions and higher –

income which ultimately leads to the improvement

of standard of living of rural woman artisans. The

scheme envisages distribution of motorized rats

/ motorized traditional ratts / other coir processing

equipments which can be operated by women by

extending 75% subsidy by the board subject to the

maximum of Rs.7,500.00.

The state wise details of Motorized Ratts (MR)/

Motorized Traditional Ratts (MTR) distributed under

Mahila Coir Yojana and the subsidy amount allotted

CHAPTER – XII

DEVELOPMENT OF COIR INDUSTRY IN THE NORTH EASTERN REGION

The North East Region consists of seven

states of Arunachal Pradesh, Assam, Manipur,

Meghalaya, Mizoram, Nagaland and Tripura plus

Sikkim. This region, in spite of having excellent

potential for economic development, has remained

under developed, due to various reasons. In order

to aggregate the region with the other parts of the

country, Government of India has taken more efforts

to boost up the sale of coir products in that region.

In view of this the Board is implementing various

programmes for the skill development of artisans

and for making them aware of quality in production

and seeking new awareness for a self development

and self supporting, in the coconut producing states

of North Eastern Region viz, Assam and Tripura.
