Let us salute the innovative coconut farmers

摘要

This issue of the Indian Coconut Journal is focusing on innovative and successful coconut farmers. We have with us an array of farmers who, through their innovative and creative ideas have achieved success in coconut farming. Honouring the successfulfarmers by bringing them to the forefront usually happens only once in an year either on the farmer's day or during the distribution of annual awards to farmers. Why don't we try to create a directory of the 100 best coconut farmers from major coconut growing districts in various states and introduce their ideas and expertise before others? Then we may try to increase this number to 1000 best coconut farmers in such districts. This issue of the Journal may be treated as a humble beginning towards this endeavour.
