Plea to procure husk, fibre for cooperatives

Kozhikode: The Kozhikode Taluk Coir Industry Workers’ Union, affiliated to the Centre of Indian Trade Unions (CITU), has urged the State government to take immediate steps to procure husk and fibre for coir cooperatives in the district.

Workers at the 33rd annual district conference here on Wednesday said the shortage of husk and fibre was affecting the growth of the industry. The workers were not able to meet the demand for products on account of non-availability of raw materials. The Kerala State Coir Cooperative Marketing Federation (Coirfed) should procure husk and fibre for the coir cooperatives to make value-added products, they said.
