Natural drinks in demand, Kerala to pop ‘neera' again
KOCHI: fter years of dwindling production, neera, the nutritious, unfermented sap sourced from the flower of coconut palms, is experiencing a renewed surge in demand in Kerala. While the state, a pioneer in neera production, saw output plummet after 2018 due to floods, climate change, and Covid, neighbouring states such as Tamil Nadu and Karnataka capitalised on growing consumer preference for healthy, natural beverages. However, there is now hope for neera lovers in Kerala with renewed interest among entrepreneurs and coconut farmers for the produce. 'While the Palakkad Coconut Producer Co Ltd (PCPCL) continues to operate successfully, another farmer-owned company focusing on value-added coconut products, including neera, has started functioning in Thrissur. Furthermore, a biotechnology firm in Kalamassery, Kochi has developed an energy drink — Energy Neer — from neera,' said Deepthi Nair S, director (marketing), Coconut Development Board, Kochi. The Thrissur Coconut Producer Co Ltd (TCPCL), which was formed a year back, focusses on the cococonut-based energy drink and is all set to expand its operations. 'We started on a small scale, mostly limited to Thrissur. Now that we're finding a good market for neera, thanks to consumers turning health conscious, we are set to expand our operations. We'll roll out the product in other districts, besides Thrissur and Ernakulam, and also plan to export the produce at a later stage. For that we've planned to increase production from the current 100 litres a day to 1,000 litres in the next one year,' Vinayan E V, chairman of TCPCL, told TNIE. Consumer preference for natural products has also resulted in demand for tender coconut water, which is being packaged and shipped to north Indian states in large quantities. 'Around 200 truckloads from Pollachi and 150 from Madurai — each truck with 10,000 to 12,000 tender coconuts — are transported daily. Consumers have become health conscious and demand for natural products are up,' Deepthi said.

India, US aim for interim deal by Aug 1 deadline
Washington: India and the United States have concluded the fifth round of negotiations for the proposed Bilateral Trade Agreement (BTA) in Washington. The talks, which took place over four days from July 14 to 17, were led by India's chief negotiator and special secretary in the department of commerce, Rajesh Agrawal. "The Indian team is coming back," an official confirmed the conclusion of discussions. The latest round of negotiations holds particular importance as both nations are aiming to finalise an interim trade deal before August 1. This deadline marks the end of the suspension period of the Trump-era tariffs, steep additional duties of up to 26% imposed on several countries, including India. US President Donald Trump had originally announced the reciprocal tariffs on April 2 this year. While they were scheduled for immediate implementation, the duties were temporarily suspended for 90 days until July 9, and later extended again until August 1, allowing time for ongoing trade negotiations with multiple countries. During the fifth round of talks, key sectors such as agriculture and automobiles featured prominently. The discussions also covered matters related to non-market economies and the export control category known as SCOMET (Special Chemicals, Organisms, Materials, Equipment, and Technologies).
