Mango is one of the most important crops of this village, and mango trees occupy about 60 per-cent of the land used to cultivate fruit. Hill-slopes near the coast where drainage is assured and climatic conditions are ideal, present the most suitable site for mango cultivation. Cashew nut stands next in importance to mango and occupies nearly one-third of the area used to cultivate fruit. Banana and coconut are grown on a smaller scale.
