Introduction
Hiriyur is located 40 km away from the Chitradurga district in Karnataka state. Hiriyur is one of the major producer of coconuts due to good climatic conditions and abundant availability of Vedavati river water. Coir is the natural fiber which is extracted from coconut. The fiber which is extracted from coconut husk is processed in automated machines to remove the fiber. Then the processed fiber is manually entwined into coir ropes.
