Coconut one of the most important plantation crops in the world may comes to end within the shortest period due net loss incurring by the growers increasing day by day. About twenty years back per coconut price rs five never changed so far after excluding few exceptions. Imagine situation of poor agriculture – cost production, labour cost, input cost, irrigation cost, and others costs multiplied. 

Is it possible him to live in the profession or leave the profession – left to his choice?

Increase of output, decrease of input cost, intensive cultivation and increase the sale of tender coconut and so on is the only alternative left to him

What is the experts view in the field?

No deep pit necessary to plant coconut tree. Just to cover the coconut is more than sufficient – inputs cost can minimize raw wastage of animals and birds – minimum or dead cost of labour possible only to those who involved in the field fully.

Earning chart of coconut plantation about one acre land (about 43,560sft) after considering planters opinion

Maximum plant per acre 60, maximum in number braches per year per tree about 12, maximum coconuts per branch about 25, total  -300 coconut per tree.

Maximum pepper yield in particular tree about 10 kgs noted here half of it – 5 kg only

Maximum cocoa per plant three year onwards 100 per plant per season – total 200, we get 2oo grams of wet beans , one third of it about 60 grams, able to get total 12 kgs per year, noted here only 5 kg per plant.

Maximum tender coconut from per plant one half times of coconut is the practical experience, noted the same.

Is it practicable – if one can other than agriculture field why can not here? All round team work – scientist, agriculture, state, co operation of finance institution, insurance to cover his risk and so on helps him to put 100 present concentration definitely get 100 present result, if not if he gets pass mark more than enough to lead healthy life, actually he is failing leads to bad to worst condition.

The above table shows the maximum returns one can get from one acre (43,560sft) land if he shows 100 % capacity. Former one if he prefers coconut and later one if he prefer to tender coconut. Usually one can get fifty present more yield by selling tender coconut instead of coconut.

Following remedy in the discussion field may help us- Discussion continue till problem ends.

Coconut grower’s development federation. It is the basic necessity in every village in order to gain sufficient knowledge though discussion. Actually what is happening in the field,  all of us directly implementing our thoughts in the field, may get success or may not leads to depression or irrecoverable loss forced to take bad decision in our agriculture life. Other than agriculture field each and every corner of any field one association or federation is there to safeguard their interest. Crop wise and area wise federation must exist at least to get better result in the field.

Increase fertility of land ; It is of two types one natural way where one has to avoid sun light and  rain water direct contact to the agricultural field( intensive cultivation automatically helps to increase the fertility ) and then adding organic or chemical inputs. At present most prefers organic manure include agriculture waste, animal manure, birds manure and so on. No earth work or minimum earth work and adding input at the right time helps lot in this respect.

Search cheapest best quality input; Most of us uneducated or ancestor one never change their attitude, no calculation about profit and loss incurring and avoiding by suitable modern or suitable steps in the right direction. Suitable and cheapest input chart not available within the limits of agriculture (yet to be ready) tells the story of about critical situation facing. Chicken manure one bag (about 50 kg) per tree more than enough including peppering in that tree, opinion of a few left to the practical experience.

Search and implement minimum to dead cost labour; skilled labour one of the difficulty in this field – mostly to remove nuts from tree and dehusking coconut (removing out side portion of coconuts). Some area in the world monkeys trained to this field can remove coconuts from the tree and implementation latest technology may reduce the other one. If marketing of tender coconut able to dominate in the area that cost never exist.

Labour problem product of education – let them act in this respect; labour problem and unemployment problem production of education factory. University, teachers, management, state, never feel guilty till today biggest loss to the community. Education is training company to get best results and not at all exporting of young blood from one field to other. At least now they must bear in mind their duty - let the generation to live – enlighten the youth about lot of job facility within the village, city and so.  It is our duty to produce all kinds of skilled and non skilled labour force depending upon the needs of the society to which we belong.

Maximize out put; there is wide gab between minimum and maximum. That has to be reduced to minimum. Field experts says – one trees output – 12 bunches, fifty per bunch – total 600 nuts - forget about 50% even though one has to get 300 nuts. But no body gets more than 100 per tree; they hang between 25 -100.minimum input, input put at wrong time, improper surface, density, so many factors count here must be looked into and rectify the same to get maximum returns.

Intensive cultivation; majority till today not interested to get maximum returns out of the available land. Intensive cultivation one of the best methods not only on the basis of returns helps to increase fertility of land. Owner gets so many benefits like increase of income, reduces the labour cost to clean the area, up and down market price of particular crop never bathers him, and so on must realize and cultivate the system for all round development of agriculture through out  nation and world . What type of crop suitable and adopt much depends upon the area may select short or long term crops.

Best alternative - selling of tender coconuts to the maximum extent.  Market price of tender coconut gradually increases day by day and also the demand. Tender coconut only the substitute to water, and then imagine the demand for it.  Modern approach to serve the tender coconuts within the air condition room or failed to serve as bottle water facility biggest loss to dominate its position in the market.

Necessity  of coconut growers development federation

Two very important wings totally failed in this world administration of country (politics) and agriculture. Basic reason any body can enter this field and work, success may or not, former one ruin the nation, latter one ruin our future.

Democracy development federation must start and work to set right administration problem is concerned, particular crop grower development federation is the only alternative left to live long in this world.

The importance of federation as follows

1).helps to increase output

2. Helps to decrease input cost

3. It works out just like training institute.

4. Helps to get state or international benefits, which has been swallowing by the middlemen or some one else.

5. It is the only alternative to farmer’s unity.

6. Lot of job facility in the field.

7. Better and efficient mechanism takes place.

8. Lab research helps to field research

9. It links between various department and agriculture.

10. Time money, land and efforts misplacement tremendously may decrease.

11. Few experts lead to experts one and all.

12. Multiply of out put strengthen the economy of state and world.

12. Weak voice of agriculture turns to loud voice.

14. We are no more fools at the instance of sales representatives, Blade Company.

15. A……Z facility at the door of farmer.

16. Helps to organic revolution.

17. Shortage of labour and excess of labour comes to an end.

18. Man made calamity ends with the man made solution.
