Introduction

Behind every high-quality coir product lies skilled craftsmanship. In Karnataka, women artisans play a central role in preserving and advancing coir production. Their expertise not only ensures superior product quality but also drives sustainable livelihood creation.

Women and Craftsmanship in the Coir Sector

Coir processing requires precision—from fibre extraction and spinning to weaving and finishing. Women artisans, trained through generations of traditional knowledge, bring consistency and attention to detail that directly impacts product durability and performance.

Quality Through Skill, Not Automation

Unlike mass-produced synthetic goods, coir products benefit from hands-on craftsmanship. Women-led production units focus on fibre strength, uniform weaving, and finishing quality—resulting in products that last longer and perform better in real-world conditions.

Economic Empowerment Through Fair Production

COIR EMPOWER integrates women into structured production systems that ensure:

• Fair remuneration
• Regular work opportunities
• Skill upgradation
• Long-term livelihood security

This model transforms coir from informal labour into dignified, skilled employment.

Conclusion

Women empowerment and product quality are deeply interconnected. By placing women at the centre of coir production, COIR EMPOWER strengthens both social impact and product excellence—creating value for artisans and customers alike.
