Economy

Perumanna was well known for extensive fertile paddy fields and lush coconut tree groves. The paddy fields have become a thing of the past. They have mostly been filled up with soil excavated from nearby hillocks to build houses and commercial buildings. Very few farmers cultivate paddy. Non-availability of laborers and escalating labor costs are aggravating the situation. The fast diminishing of paddy fields has already affected the Eco-system adversely.
