Dry coconut wholesale market : Coconuts are procured in large quantities from the local farmers. Grading of coconuts is done where in the water coconuts are separated and sent back to the market. The peeling of the skin of the coconuts suitable for copra is then done and later the nuts with the husk are stored on attics built out of bamboo sticks. The nuts are dried on the attics for a period of 9 to 10 months naturally for the ball copra to be formed. The shell of the nuts is removed and the formed ball copra are graded and packed according to the sizes and quality.
