Kurubur, a prominent advocate for the rights of coconut farmers, has called
for a halt in palm oil imports to support the struggling coconut farming
industry. Speaking at a press conference, Kurubur expressed concern over
the adverse impact of palm oil imports on domestic coconut production and
the livelihoods of farmers. He emphasized that the excessive reliance on
palm oil imports was not only detrimental to the economy but also posed
environmental challenges. Kurubur urged the government and consumers to
prioritize locally-produced coconut oil to ensure the sustainability of the
coconut farming sector. Supporting local farmers and promoting indigenous
products would not only boost the rural economy but also help preserve the
unique cultural heritage associated with coconut cultivation in India.
