Coconut prices have soared to over ₹80/kg, disrupting budgets of small-time eateries and households.

The growing demand for coconuts for puja rituals in temples also contributes to the shortage. As a result, eateries are forced to replace traditional snacks with alternative options, while households are struggling to afford coconut oil.
