5 What is geotextiles? Any material used for improving the soil behaviour, preventing soil erosion and help consolidation of soil can be termed as geotextiles. Types of geotextoles Natural Plant Anilmal Synthetic Polypropylene Polyester Polyethylene PVC etc.

6 PLANT FIBRE Leaf fibre Inflorescence Bast fibre Basic functions of geotextiles Fluid transmission Filtration Separation Protection

7 Fibre properties for use as geotextiles Reasonably good mechanical properties Reasonably resistant to microbial attack Lignin content Bast fibres - 0.6% to 3.3% Leaf fibres - 10% Jute - 12 % Coir - 35 %

8 Biodegradation of natural geotextiles Cotton degrades totally in six weeks Jutes - Degrades totally in eight weeks Coir - retained 20% of tensile strength after one year Coir takes 15 times longer than cotton and seven times longer than jute to degrade. Coconut

They should possess low elongation. They should possess satisfactory punching strength. They should possess less adsorption qualities. They should possess resistance to ultraviolet radiation. They should possess surface compatible with the needs. They should be economical

89 STRENGTH AND WEAKNESSES OF COIRFED Strength Coirfed is one of the largest Apex Federations in the State operating in the traditional sector. The Federation is operating throughout the State of Kerala with more than 587 primary co-operative societies operating in the traditional coir belt. Because of the large network of primary co-operative societies, the Federation is capable of mobilizing huge quantity of coir and coir products on short notice. The total fixed assets of the Federation, if valued at market price would be well above Rs. 70 Crores. Many of the showrooms and quarters purchased by the Federation in prominent cities like Bombay, Jaipur, Amritsar, Kanpur, Jabalpur and Chennai are excellent business locations. Even in Kerala, the Regional Offices at Kollam, Alappuzha, Kochi and Kozhikkode that are owned by the Federation are excellent landed properties with immense business potential..

90 Strength Only agency which exclusively engaged in the business of coir. The trusted name and brand of in coir Strength The Federation is still the market leader for the sale of coir and coir products in the Country and is the continuous winner of the domestic market award constituted by Coir Board, Government of India. Being an Apex Federation in the traditional industrial sector with a well connected net work, all the schemes and projects proposed by the State and Central Government for the benefit of coir sector and industry can be implemented by the.

91 WEAKNESSES During the beginning of the Federation, there was professionalism to some extent, but the concept of professional management became totally absent towards the beginning of the 2000s. Many decisions taken by the Board of Directors were against the interest of the Federation. The business concept was totally lost due to the above reasons and the Federation started drifting without any aim or target. No concrete efforts were made to restart the export business that totally stopped during the year WEAKNESSES No new attempts were made for expanding the internal marketing for coir and coir product throughout India. The organizational structure of the Federation is not at all professional and many Officers and Staff handling business are not having required the professional knowledge and training or exposure. The concept of Human Resources Development is totally lacking and ignored in the Federation. Huge amounts by way of stock shortage and short remittance from showrooms are recorded.

92 Weakness There is lack of financial discipline and accountability in the Federation. No new attempts were made for expanding the internal marketing for coir and coir product throughout India. There is no vision from the Management side as to the direction to which the Federation should move and aspire to reach. There is no timely modernization of the factories and other manufacturing activities. Huge amount of working capital loan were taken from Banking Institutions without proper purpose and the interest liability is mounting. Oppurtunities of Coirfed Infrastructure facilities available with Well established marketing net work throughout India Highly qualified and trained manpower available with Vast experience in coir business Scope for diversification of activities with the existing infrastructure facilities.

93 Threats Over political involvement in Non professionalism in the business Financial indiscipline Over burden of debts and its interest on REVIVAL OF MANUFACTURING UNITS Rubberised Coir Processing Unit, Alappuzha (RCP) Rubber Backing Unit, Alappuzha (R.B.Unit) Rubber Backed Coir Car Mats, Tiles Manufacturing Unit, Thumboor (RBCM Unit) Thrissur District.

99 POLICY KVSC can sell coir yarn only through Coirfed Mats and Matting Societies will function only through - supply of yarn and produce. MDA may be reinstated to Impose entry tax to coir fibre to regulate price as well as maintaining the quality Govt. will have more direct control over the functioning of necessary bylaws to be amended Diversification of activities of Coirfed Bylaws to be amended Political interference will be reduced and total professionalism will be brought in.
