This project was a continuation of the earlier efforts in establishing a commercially viable coconut oil industry among Nicobari tribal women. Arrangements were made with a tribal businessman in Car Nicobar to purchase and supply oil. One installment of 200 liters was received. However, there were challenges in arranging barrels to supply larger quantities, and barrels sourced in the islands were found to be substandard. There was no action on the part of this businessman to obtain barrels from elsewhere, and finally an entrepreneur from Port Blair stepped in.
