Abstract and Figures

Coconut is one of the most important commercial crop


in tropical areas and usually referred as ‘tree of
heaven’ or ‘tree of abundance’. India is the third
largest producer of coconut in the world with 10.56
million tonnes of coconut per year. The aim of this
review is to give a broad spectrum of different food
and non-food products that can be derived from
coconut. Apart from the edible by-products, coconut
palm also provides a series of non-food by-products
such as activated carbon, shell powder, fibre,
charcoal, handicrafts, furniture, and roofing. It can also
be as a source of fuel for the rural areas and
industries. There is an urgent need for intense
research and commercialization of the technology so
as to provide an additional source of income and to
improve the economic status of the farmers and the
country.
