A Review of Related Literature on Cost Benefit Analysis of Coconut Production in the Case of Hassan District

Abstract

1.1 A large part of India's economy is based on its agriculture. The Indian government's "State of Indian
Agriculture 2017-18" report, released in 2018, stressed the country's reliance on agriculture. Agriculture
and associated industries' contributions to growth in output, employment, and exports are all on the
rise. Service and manufacturing industries both contribute considerably to GDP growth, but agriculture's
role is declining progressively. According to the Indian government, the country's coconut acreage was
2096.72 thousand hectares in 2017-2018, with a production of 23,798.23 million nuts and a productivity
nut per ha of 11,350. (Coconut Board). This year, Karnataka is the second-largest state in India with an
area of 518.39 hectares (29.28 percent of the country's total). A yield of 1512.75 nuts per hectare was
recorded in Karnataka's Hassan district in 2017-2018, which produced 784,43 million nuts. Coconut
growers across India, but particularly in Karnataka, are facing challenges. This inquiry also includes the
perspective of coconut growers in Karnataka. As a result, the number of coconut plantations in Kerala
has increased. Indirectly or directly, many people are being employed as a result of the coconut
industry. The coconut tree's entire body is useful in terms of economics. It is possible to use the trunk of
a coconut tree for various purposes depending on the species. The southern states of Kerala, Karnataka,
Tamil Nadu, and Andhra Pradesh produce the vast majority of the world's coconuts. Nuts per hectare,
hectares, hectares of land, coconut, GDP, etc. are just some of the terms you'll see used in this article.
