Coconut oil production in Kangeyam began in the 1980s, when farmers in Tamil Nadu first began cultivating coconuts commercially. Nowadays, Kangeyam is among the major coconut oil producing regions of India; coconut oil produced here is marketed across Tamil Nadu and other states such as Maharashtra, Andhra Pradesh, Karnataka, Gujarat, West Bengal and Madhya Pradesh. Kangeyam coconut oil is also exported internationally. In the production of oil, coconut kernels are first dried on large fields made for this purpose. They are then processed in oil mills to produce coconut oil. There are about 150 coconut oil manufacturing units in and around Kangeyam and about 500 kopra processing and drying units in Kangeyam Taluk.
