인도 신선 코코넛 수출 시장 (11월, 2022)

A new variety of coconut, Kalpa Vajra, has been developed by the ICAR-CPCRI, All India Coordinated Research Projects (Palms), to combat root disease in prone areas. With an annual average output of 80.1 nuts/palm, it outperforms damaged palms by 1.5 times. The variety was developed by crossing West Coast Tall palms, known for their high yields and resistance to root disease. The Central Variety Release Committee will soon announce its release, and ICAR-CPCRI plans to distribute seedlings to farmers from 2025.
