Скачать или смотреть Kerala's Coconut Crisis: God's Own Country Loses Its Identity?

This special report from Thiruvananthapuram focuses on the severe coconut crisis gripping Kerala, the state whose name means 'land of coconut trees'. The report examines the sharp decline in coconut production and the resulting sky-high prices, with coconuts selling for over 70 rupees a kilo and oil nearing 410 rupees per kilogram. An expert on the crisis states, ‘We now face shorter but heavier spells of rain, warmer nights and heatwaves. Added to this is the lack of care for existing coconut trees’. The story explores the multiple causes, including climate change, devastating pest attacks from the red palm weevil, a critical shortage of skilled labour, and the rampant conversion of fertile coconut groves into real estate. As households and restaurants cut back on coconut usage, the report questions whether Kerala is losing a part of its core identity.
