Kerala, a state in India, is a major contributor to the country's agricultural production, with a diverse range of crops including coconuts, rubber, spices, tea and coffee, rice, oil palm, and fruits. The state is particularly interested in cultivating tropical fruits like durian and mangosteen, following the lead of Thailand and other ASEAN countries. Durian, known for its unique smell and taste, is currently being planted in Kerala despite its high price due to low consumer awareness. The planting of these crops is expected to create a significant trend in Indian agriculture.
