A project that aims to make available packaged and chilled tender coconut as soft drink, direct from the farmer to the consumer, is to be implemented in the district shortly. The drink under the brand name 'Coconector' would come in two labels. The green label would have only the water while the orange-labeled one would have both water and pulp. The shelf life of Coconector is said to be 20 days. The progrmamme would be implemented through the kudumbasree Kozhicode district Mission and the Agriculture Wholesale Market(AWM), Vengari with the support from The Coconut Development Board.
