Project Report for Areca Leaf Plate Making

Areca leaf plates are perfect alternate to plastics/polymer based products and
also paper based products about which the entire world is concerned about.
A 100% natural mechanism is followed for manufacturing these plates. The
fallen areca leaf is collected from the farms. The Shelton of the areca leaf
cleaned and soaked in water for a particular time and later sun dried. They
are then compressed to different shapes using the correspondingly shaped
Machines. They are then packed as per the customer requirement.

In India 4 Lac Hectares of Areca Crop has been cultivated, near about 5400
Million Areca Leaves are sheded and Treated as Agro waste. These leaves
can be converted as a Value added Product.

One Areca leaf plate manufacturing unit Needs 195000 leaves per year. In
this scenario near about 27700 plates manufacturing units can be established
all over India. 1.5 lakh fresh employments can be given in 27700 units. This
Particular project can create “A Rural employment revolution” in India.

At present only 1500 units are established all over India. In that around 1000
units are in south India. The major suppliers of raw materials for south
Indian units are Tamilnadu, Kerala and Karnataka.
