The members of the group underwent intensive training in making board and paper from banana waste. Kannivadi is a horticultural belt and produces 7000 tons of banana every year. The pseudostems of bananas are thrown away as waste and they pollute the environment. The group members thought of converting this waste into wealth and started an industry for making board and paper. Right from its inception the unit has been struggling to have continous market for their product, as their cost of production is higher than the average cost as they are not able to procure orders in bulk quantity. MSSRF is addressing this issue by facilitating in obtaining orders from metropolitin cities and from other regions.
