For the past few days I have been going around the Manjalar village interviewing different coconut farmers. I have collected information from exactly 10 farmers. The questions I asked them were quiet simple and easily answerable by a farmer. They were :

 1.  How long have you been a farmer  ?

2. As far as you know, what are the products that you get from a coconut tree ?

3.  What are the uses of a coconut tree ?

4.  What is the average height of a coconut tree ?

5.  How do you irrigate your coconut trees ?

6.   What are hybrid coconuts ?

7.   How many coconuts does a tree produce per tree ?

8.  What is the average lifetime of a coconut tree ?

9. Are there any problems that you face as a farmer ?

10.Is the government helping you in anyways ?

Following is a list of the names and pictures of people I surveyed.
