Coconut Coir Industry Had a negative Effect Due to Supply Chain Disruptions during COVID-19 Pandemic

The global COVID-19 pandemic has been unprecedented and staggering, with the market experiencing higher-than-anticipated demand across all regions compared to pre-pandemic levels. The sudden market growth reflected by the rise in CAGR is attributable to market’s growth and demand returning to pre-pandemic levels.

Transportation restrictions and global lockdowns dealt a hard blow to the supply chain of coir. The limited supply of labor to work in harvesting and processing fronts hampered the production levels, and the exportation was hampered by international shipping delays and port closures. Severe lockdown restrictions in most coir-exporting areas were a frequent clog in the manufacturing and logistical pipelines.
