Abstract: This research investigates the prevalent marketing challenges encountered by coconut producers, focusing specifically on the Pollachi region of Tamil Nadu. Agriculture is a critical component of the Indian economy, supporting approximately one-third of the population directly or indirectly. Coconut cultivation is particularly vital, sustaining 60% of farmers in Tamil Nadu, which exhibits the highest coconut productivity among major Indian states. However, the increasing trend in production has introduced new challenges regarding market access for the resulting surplus. The study utilized primary data collected via a structured questionnaire from 150 respondents in Pollachi using convenience sampling over five months (March to October 2025). Key objectives included analysing cultivation and marketing problems, studying marketing practices, and exploring returns realized by growers. The analysis, utilizing Simple Percentage and the Chi-Square method, revealed that limited market information (36% of respondents) and the lack of organized marketing channels (41% of respondents) are the most significant problems. These challenges frequently lead to financial instability for 41% of the farmers interviewed. The study concludes that interventions such as implementing a price guarantee scheme and strengthening farmer associations are necessary to mitigate unexpected losses and price fluctuations caused by intermediaries. The analysis found no significant relationship between either Gender or Area and the stated marketing problems or preferred stakeholders, respectively.
Keywords: Coconut marketing, Pollachi, Price fluctuation, financial instability, Farmer cooperatives, Marketing channels.
