Tender coconut parlour at Infopark
The tender coconut parlour which opened in Infopark Campus by the Coconut Development Board proved to be popular on the first day itself with hundreds of Infopark-based employees relishing the taste of pure, unadulterated and natural tender coconut water. The kiosks are managed by the Coconut Producers Society, Mudalamada, Palaghat. Mr Gigo Joseph, CEO of Infopark, Mr K. Kurian Senior Technical Advisor of Infopark and Additional Commissioner (Horticulture) of Central Agriculture Ministry, Mr Om Prakash were present on the occasion.
The Coconut Development Board is planning to set up 5,000 similar parlours across the country to facilitate marketing of coconut products. Fresh tender coconuts will be directly supplied to the parlour by a pre-designated Coconut Producers Society which consists of 40-100 coconut farmers of a particular area who will work as a unit in the production and marketing of their coconut produce, a release said.
