INDIA-ECONOMY-LABOUR-COCONUT
TO GO WITH India-farm-coconut-technology, FOCUS by Phil Hazlewood
A labourer plucks coconuts from a tree at a coconut farm on the outskirts of Bangalore on September 10, 2009. It's a question that has left the best minds in India scratching their heads: how to harvest the key coconut crop when no one either wants or knows how to climb trees any more. But officials in Kerala, the southern agricultural state famed for laid-back tourism on tropical beaches, believe they have a potential solution. They have announced a six-month competition for engineers to design a mechanical harvester to pick coconuts. AFP PHOTO/Dibyangshu SARKAR
