Its cultivation is known in India for time immemorial as the palm is nobly described in ancient Indian literature as ‘Kalpavriksha’. The raw n u t s in edible copra are important articles of food. The t ru n k of ma tu red tree is used for construction of houses. The outer h u sk of n u t forms the raw material for coir industry. Tender coconut is used as refreshing drink in summe r season. The an n u a l increase in the market arrivals of coconut is observed in Tiptur ma rke t an d decreasing trend in market arrivals was observed in Arsikere. The ma rke t s tru c tu re of copra and coconut shown th a t there is a greater degree of competitiveness in the ma rke t of commission agent. Production of coconut shown negative response to the price variation. Marketing ch anne ls followed by farmers in marketing of copra were found to be in the two important channels, they are as follows, I Producer Commission agent Trader II produc e r Co-operative society -> Trader In the first channel, copra makers disposed copra through commission agents to the traders. In this channel out of 30 selected copra makers as high as 90 per cent (27 farmers) of the producers marketed about 76.6 per cent (26573 quintals) of their produce. In channel-II, producers sold their produce through the co-operative society, which in tu rn sold the produce to the traders . In this channel only 30 accounting for 23.4 per cent, sold 8115 quinta ls of copra which was worked out to be 30 per cent of the total produce, through this channel. The factor influencing prices of copra reveals th a t variation in prices of copra is explained by two factors namely n umb e r of trad e rs and arrivals of copra in market. The production of copra h a s negligible impact on the price of copra. The problem faced by marketing intermediaries revealed tha t the taxes levied by central and state government, price fluctuation, high transportation cost, inters tate border taxes are found to be the core of the problem."
