There is a huge demand overseas for king coconuts (Thambili) from Sri Lanka yet the country is unable to meet the demand owing to a shortage locally, Agriculture Minister Mahinda Amaraweera said. He said a new program is to be launched to grow more king coconut plants in order to meet the export demand.
