The Untold Story of coir, Incredible Unknown Facts About coir Coir (/ˈkɔɪər/), or coconut fibre, is a natural fibre extracted from the outer husk of coconut[1] and used in products such as floor mats, doormats, brushes and mattresses. Coir is the fibrous material found between the hard, internal shell and the outer coat of a coconut. Other uses of brown coir (made from ripe coconut) are in upholstery padding, sacking and horticulture. White coir, harvested from unripe coconuts, is used for making finer brushes, string, rope and fishing nets.[2] It has the advantage of not sinking, so can be used in long lengths in deep water without the added weight dragging down boats and buoys. Kerala is the first state in India to develop coir factory. Still there is great demand globally for the coir prepared in southern part of Kerala. Due to drastic decline of Coconut cultivation and farming , this coir manufacturing was undertaken by other states of India. Government allotted minimal fund and aid for the enterprises, but the neglects from the part of government also added for this issue. Now there are few coir units. Due to the influence of electric machines, the traditional method of handmade coir product is also diminished. This drastically affected the livelihood of people involved in this work. One of the most important coir unit in Kerala is in the Paravoor backwater coast. The name coir comes from kayar Malayalam word for cord or rope (traditionally a kind of rope is made from the coconut fibre. Ropes and cordage have been made from coconut fibre since ancient times. The Austronesian peoples, who first domesticated coconuts, used coconut fibre extensively for ropes and sennit in building houses and lashed-lug plank boats in their voyages in both the Pacific and the Indian Oceans. Later Indian and Arab navigators who sailed the seas to Malaya, China, and the Persian Gulf centuries ago also used coir for their ship ropes. Arab writers of the 11th century AD referred to the extensive use of coir for ship ropes and rigging. A coir industry in the UK was recorded before the second half of the 19th century. During 1840, Captain Widely, in co-operation with Captain Logan and Mr. Thomas Treloar, founded the known carpet firms of Treloar and Sons in Ludgate Hill, England, for the manufacture of coir into various fabrics suitable for floor coverings. ഇന്ത്യയിൽ കയർവ്യവസായം ഉത്ഭവംകൊണ്ട നാടാണ് കേരളം. പ്രത്യേകിച്ച് തെക്കൻകേരളത്തിലെ കയറുത്പന്നങ്ങൾക്ക് ലോകരാജ്യങ്ങൾക്കിടയിൽ ഇപ്പോഴും വലിയ ഡിമാന്റാണ്.പക്ഷേ തെങ്ങുകൃഷിയുടെയും കർഷകരുടേയും തകർച്ചയോടെ കേരളത്തിൽ നിന്നും കയർ വ്യവസായം ഇന്ത്യയിലെ മറ്റു സംസ്ഥാനങ്ങൾ ഏറ്റെടുത്തു. സർക്കാർസഹായം കൂടി സമയത്തുലഭിക്കാതായതോടെ കേരളത്തിലെ കയർവ്യവസായം തകർച്ചയിലായി. ഇപ്പോൾ വിരലിലെണ്ണാവുന്ന യൂണിറ്റുകൾ മാത്രമേ കേരളത്തിലുള്ളൂ. ഇലക്ട്രിക് ഉപകരണങ്ങളുടെ വരവോടെ പരമ്പരാഗത കയർതൊഴിലാളികളുടെ ജീവിതമാർഗ്ഗവും ഇല്ലാതായി. കേരളത്തിലെ പ്രധാനപ്പെട്ട ഒരു കയർവ്യവസായ മേഖലയാണ് കൊല്ലംജില്ലയിലെ പരവൂർ കായൽത്തീരം.
