The tsunami of 26th Decemer 2004 caused some physical damage on the trees while a bigger damage was through the effect on their marketing system. The supply side (farmers) and the demand (local traders) were affected. Furthermore, the destruction of roads and bridges, storage and processing facilities was a serious problem. Various agents in the marketing system are facing problems in the rebuilding of the market institution. With a good marketing system all agents benefit with improved price for the commodity, improved product quality and overall improvement in the welfare of farmers and communities in the tsunami-affected zone.
