Unprecedented heavy rains, floods and road damages have brought Asia’s largest market for tender coconuts located in Maddur of Mandya district to a standstill in the last three days.
The supply of tender coconuts has been reduced by 90% in Maddur wholesale market in the last few days owing to heavy rains. This has disrupted not only local markets but also markets for tender coconuts across the country, as per Sunil Kumar M.J., a wholesale dealer of tender coconuts in Maddur.
