Coconut Production Declines in the Uddanam Region

The Uddanam region of Srikakulam is experiencing a major decline in local coconut production. The area was once known as the Konaseema of North Andhra because of its extensive coconut plantations. Cyclone Titli reportedly damaged around five lakh coconut trees spread across 45,000 acres in 2018. Newly planted trees have not yet produced the expected level of yield, and average production reportedly declined from around 1,000–1,200 coconuts to 400–500.
