Coconut Oil is very richly used in India. The Kerala state in India is a leading producer of Coconut Oil. They use coconut oil in all most all their food items. They take bath (head bath) using coconut oil. They prepare even sweet using coconut oil. Most of the people seldom use any oil other than coconut oil. The hair volume of the people will be high and they are known for their black and thick hair.
But, unfortunately in other states of India though people use coconut oil it will not be pure and most of the times it will be adulterated.
The adulteration is horrible. Poor people dwelling in shanties go round the street collect some spoiled coconut shells, bones of animals, and other dead bodies of animals. They extract fat from the stuff and supply to the agents who mixes them for coconut oil or replace some to gain weight. It will be supplied to the customer.
Recently, the State Government of Telangana took a serious note of the issue and the people committing such irregularities have been brought to books and dealt with severely.
Do you have such adulteration of coconut oil in your country?

I am from Kerala and am really sad to know every where alteration is going on. That's really a bad thing and always effecting people's health.

Still Governments are not serious about it. I said only about coconut oil.. There is such adulteration taking place in respect of Chilli Garlic paste, Tamarind paste, Groundnut Oil, Gingelly oil, Ghee, everything..almost in everything..I am really ashamed of it. Even people are silent and simply bearing with these activities. I am adding an image which is quite appropriate.to the context.

We have heard this happens. Sad for the consumers-they don't know what they are getting.

Coconut is one of the leading products of my country. We also make raw coconut oil, which is a virgin coldpressed unadulterated coconut oil and it is healthier than regular coconut oil.
