Coconuts can be dehusked manually by using a hand cutting tool. This method requires more efforts by
labour and time consuming process. All the coconut growers cannot afford to own an automated machines used
in developed countries because of high cost. The aim of this paper is to design and develop a coconut fiber
extraction machine for farmers and small scale coir industries in India to provide an effective solution to the
difficulties in existing process, reduce time and labour cost and to develop a compact coconut fiber extraction
machine which could be used in remote villages so that unutilized husks from such areas could be tapped and
fiber could be made available to the Coir Industry directly. This project was taken up to develop a promotional
strategy for a new innovation and generate public awareness regarding the availability of a coconut fiber
extraction machine in the market at a reasonable cost.
