The agricultural industry, especially in tropical areas, has always struggled with how best to use and dispose of the residue of harvesting coconuts—coconut husks. Despite having a high fiber content, these husks can be difficult to dispose of, which leads to resource waste and environmental degradation. Coconut husks may be more easily converted into a variety of beneficial goods, including organic mulch, animal bedding, and biofuel, thanks to an inventive equipment that shreds them into fine particles.Moreover, Agriculture section need industrial technology to create efficient machinery that will help enhance and contribute for today's societal problem liker waste disposal and waste efficiency. A variety of coconut husk processing machines have been developed to enhance efficiency and safety in the coconut industry. Coconut husks are a natural byproduct of the coconut industry and are often considered waste. However, they have the potential to be a valuable resource for various applications, including horticulture, agriculture, and manufacturing. Furthermore, the portable coconut husk shredder machine with a dryer has a big impact to the community for shredding and drying purposes of coconut husk. Moreover, the research shows the develop prototype portable coconut husk sheering machine got an overall mean of 4.66 interpreted as highly acceptable in six criteria functionality, aesthetics, durability, workability, economy, and safety. Further research and development in the retrofitting of other parts to improve its functionality and effectiveness were highly recommended.
