THE Uddanam region, renowned for its coconut crop and coir-making units, is witnessing a sharp decline in its coir industry.

- Chowdari Lakshmana Rao @ Srikakulam

Once bustling with around 20 units in areas like Ichchapuram, Kaviti, Kanchili, and Sompeta mandals, the number has dwindled to just four. The primary reason: a severe shortage of quality raw materials locally. As a result, coir units now source materials from distant places, paying over ₹9,000 per lorry load.
