Kasargod – Economy

Agriculture forms the mainstay of the population of the district. The soil in the three natural divisions generally fall under three types. In the highland region it is laterite. The eastern tract comprises of forests and hilly areas. The forests comprise of a variety of timber with teak and other plantations. The hilly areas are mostly cleared and put to private cultivation; the important crops being rubber, cashew and ginger. In the skeletal plateau areas, cashew trees are cultivated, while in some patches, arecanut, pepper and cocoa are grown. In the coastal tract, paddy, coconut, arecanut, cashew, tobacco, vegetable and tapioca are cultivated. Along with these pepper and copra are the major commodities being traded here.

Kasaragod district has vast potentials for the establishment of large and medium industries, but the district is at present industrially backward. There is no major industry here. There are some small scale industries, though. Being blessed with a variety of factors such as good soil, salubrious climate, rich forests, enormous fishing potentials, minerals as well as infrastructural facilities like road, rail etc., the district offers ample scope for the development of industries. Nevertheless, Kannur is an industrially backward district in the state.

Kasargod district has an 80 kms. long sea coast extending from Trikaripur to Bangra-Manjeshwar. There are many fish landing centers in this district, transporting facilities and ice plants.
