Our Journey
Established on 12th November 2015, Thrissur Coconut Producer Company Limited (TCPCL) is a collective of dedicated coconut farmers from Thrissur, Kerala. Our mission is to enhance the livelihoods of local coconut growers by promoting sustainable practices and value addition to coconut products.
Today, under the Sakthan Brand, TCPCL produces a wide range of Neera-based products.
Accredited by the Coconut Development Board (CDB )and assisted by CPCRI, TCPCL has emerged as a pioneering force in India’s Neera processing and marketing space.
Empowering Local Farmers
At TCPCL, we prioritize the welfare of our farmers. By sourcing Neera exclusively from the Ollur Coconut Producer Federation, we ensure that the benefits of our operations directly uplift the local farming community. This collaboration not only provides a steady income for the farmers but also encourages sustainable tapping practices.
To overcome labour shortages and safety risks in tree climbing, TCPCL has adopted innovative technologies like the SAPER robotic tapping machine, developed by Nava Design and Innovation Pvt Ltd. This solar-powered, AI-enabled device collects fresh Neera at the ground level through a closed, contamination-free system—doubling productivity and reducing the number of tree climbs from 270 to just 2 per flower.
