Uttara Kannada

Nestled in beautiful scenic locales, Uttara Kannada is also home to one of India’s six atomic plants and a greenfield naval base project-Seabird. The coastal belt of Uttara Kannada also has one of Karnataka’s largest ports, Karwar, with a capacity of 75000 million tonnes liquid storage and 30000 MT warehousing. Government of Karnataka is keen on developing six berths under PPP here. The region also cultivates plantation crops like areca nut, coconut and cashew along with kokum. Large coastlines with suitable climatic conditions help the agro and horticulture products in the district. The rich biodiversity in the region is ideal for organic farming too. The other sectors flourishing here include Aromatic and Herbal Processing Industry, Tile, Coir, Engineering and Construction along with Fisheries.
