Abstract	This research investigates the socio-economic impact of manual coconut dehusking, focusing on its implications for rural livelihoods and broader economic development. The study employs a mixed-method approach, combining surveys, interviews, and financial analysis to comprehensively explore the multifaceted effects of manual dehusking on local communities. Key findings indicate that manual coconut dehusking significantly contributes to income generation and employment opportunities in rural areas where mechanized alternatives are often inaccessible. Through qualitative interviews with coconut farmers and workers, the research highlights the socio-economic benefits accrued from manual dehusking, including enhanced household income, employment stability, and preservation of traditional craftsmanship. Furthermore, the study evaluates the economic viability of manual dehusking compared to mechanized methods, considering factors such as initial investment costs, operational efficiency, and socio-cultural context. It identifies scenarios where manual dehusking remains a preferred option due to its affordability, adaptability to small-scale operations, and compatibility with local socio-cultural practices. However, challenges such as labor intensiveness, ergonomic concerns, and limited scalability are also acknowledged. The research underscores the need for targeted interventions to address these challenges while leveraging the socio-economic advantages of manual dehusking. Policy recommendations aimed at supporting small-scale coconut processing enterprises, promoting skill development, and improving occupational health and safety standards are proposed to enhance the sustainability and inclusivity of manual dehusking practices. Overall, this research provides valuable insights into the socio-economic dynamics of manual coconut dehusking, informing policy and development strategies aimed at fostering rural livelihoods and sustainable economic growth in coconut-producing regions.
