Coconut Yields Decline in Tamil Nadu Due to Unspecified Factors

In Tamil Nadu, where they grow a lot of coconuts, farmers are getting fewer coconuts than before.

A farmer named Kanagaraj says he used to get around 100 coconuts from a tree, but now he gets only 20 or 30.

Many coconuts are falling off the trees when they are still small.

Sultanpet and Pollachi are two areas known for growing coconuts, with about 90,000 hectares of coconut farms.
