‘State doing nothing on Centre’s move’
Kerala Pradesh Congress Committee (KPCC) president K. Sudhakaran, MP, has said the Centre’s push to ramp up palmolein production in the country will sound the death knell for coconut farmers in Kerala. The Centre proposed to extend oil palm plantation cover by an additional 6.5 lakh hectares by 2026. Its refusal to promote coconut oil production has hit farmers in Kerala hard. The Centre has already earmarked ₹11,040 crore for the project.More Related News
