Oil Traders Seek Kerala Govt Help

Oil traders in Kerala are asking the government for help because the price of copra, which is used to make coconut oil, is going up.

This is happening even though there is a lot of copra available in the market.

Some traders in Tamil Nadu and Karnataka are holding onto their stocks to make it seem like there isn't enough copra, which is causing problems for small businesses.

The price of coconut oil is staying the same right now because of holidays and special demand, but it might change when the new harvest season starts.

Last year, many people stopped using coconut oil because it was too expensive, and they haven't started using it again even though the price has gone down.
