Importance
Karicode is one among the cashew processing hubs of Kollam.[4] It was a part of Kilikollur panchayath before. Kilikollur has the largest number of cashew processing factories in India. When Kollam Municipality was upgraded as city corporation in the year 2000, Karicode also merged with Kollam along with Kilikollur.[5][6] The congested stretch of National Highway 744 passing through Karicode makes the place a traffic black-spot in Kollam city. So many accidents happened in Karicode area because of the congested, under developed NH stretch.[7]
