Coir making is a home industry to almost all the village living people. It is very interesting to watch the coir making by the village ladies with the help of weaving Wheels. They make the coir ropes by hand. The export of Coir mat, mattresses and other products are earning a lot of foreign exchange. In addition to this, on the way, you can see the process of extracting coconut oil from the "copra" [dried coconut]. Among the routine traditional engagements, duck, poultry farm and prawn breeding are common.

Fishing in sea and backwaters is another main profession of the people of the district.
