The Coir Board, established under the “Coir Industry Act 1953 (45 of 1953),” functions as a statutory body dedicated to promoting and developing the coir (coconut fiber) industry in India. Initially concentrated in Kerala, the Coir Board's activities have expanded to cover 14 states, with its headquarters located in Ernakulam and Alappuzha. The head office, situated in Ernakulam, is complemented by the research and training office in Kalavoor, Alappuzha. Additionally, the Coir Board has regional offices strategically placed across India in areas with a significant coir industry presence.

Operating under the Ministry of Micro, Small and Medium Enterprises, the Coir Board plays a crucial role in the promotion, research, education, and training of the coir industry. Actively supporting the International Year of Natural Fibres, the board has been instrumental in advancing the coir sector.

With approximately 10 lakh people directly or indirectly involved in the coir industry in India, over 1000 small-scale producers contribute to its growth. Beyond conventional coir products, the industry has diversified its offerings to include a broad spectrum of items such as conference bags, UV-treated umbrellas, coir mattresses, coir chapals, coir garden articles, coir ply-molded articles, coir bhoovastra, coir jewelry, and handicrafts, all experiencing high demand in the international market.
