DI-RC-VA a Day Question # 19
-----------------------------------------------------

Direction for questions 1 to 4: Answer the questions on the basis of the information given below.

Report for 2002-03: India with an area of 1.472 million hectares for an annual production of 11 billion coconuts occupies 3rd position in the coconut production in the world. It is estimated that the livelihood of over 10 million Indians depends on this crop which is extensively grown in the entire coastal belt of the nation. The target production set for the year 2010 by India is 20 billion coconuts.

Consider: Cultivable area = Cultivated area

Also, Per capita production = Coconut Production
Population

Productivity of land = Coconut Production
Cultivated Area

Population Density = Population
Total Area

Population of select coconut growing states in India (2002 – 03) is given in the following table:

Coconut production
