A characteristic of coir rope is that it Will stretch 25 per cent before break- ing and it is also: more durable than most other fibres. Another important product is copra, - the dried » kernel from whieh oil is extracted, This, oil is ured in enormous quantities in soar making as well as in, some: food pro- duets.
