I visited Kerala last month. I was amazed with numerous coconut trees grown at all around places. Though it was good scene to look at, I was overwhelemed as how tough it would be to climb the tree and pull out coconuts from all these trees that is grown closely. It needs huge labour support and would take more time...huff!
I was more happy when I came to know a grassroot innovation came up from a keralite farmer to ease the climbing process. He has innovated a mechanical device to climb up the cocunut tree instantly. It has speeden up their time to climb with safety. He proudly shares his technology by addressing himself as a spiderman!
