India once the largest exporter of
Coco
rugs now have lost to other natural fiber rugs. Shortage of fiber and high cost of production gave entry to other natural
rugs sisal, jute, bamboo, sea grass, screw pine, and others.
Coir
industry’s failure to compete other natural and synthetic products is because it lacks improved product range, high
production cost for these cheap products, unstable raw material price, absence of product designing and verities. Coir fiber
has high potential to compete woolen carpet provided explored to develop fiber for usage of tuft and loom carpets. Sisal with
more shine and brightness has already taken over coir matting so final customer would prefer better at same price. Rather
competition has resulted sisal products cheaper in the international market. Therefore, this industry has to switch over to
value added products.
