Quilon, 72 km away from
Trivandrum is fairly important for the State's trade and commerce and is the center
of the country's cashew trading and processing industry. It is also an
important hub for the State's marine products industry, with the port of
Neendakara being the center for travelers and ice plants. For all its natural
gifts of wide rivers, dominant hills and forest, lakes and plains, there is
the throb of a vibrant industrial activity that combines with equanimity the
wonders of the modern age with the traces of a bygone era. Quilon which is a
veritable Kerala in miniature is gifted as it is with Kerala's very
representative features - sea, lakes, plains, mountains, rivers, streams,
backwaters, forest, vast green fields and tropical crop of every variety both
food crop and cash crop.
