- The All India Areca Growers Association has urged the Karnataka government to take key decisions supporting arecanut growers and farmers.
- The association wants these decisions taken at the state cabinet meeting scheduled in Mangaluru on September 18.
- Association president Mahesh Puchchappadi and general secretary Venkatagirish C.G. submitted the appeal to the government.
- The association is seeking a long-term policy that creates scientific and industrial value for every part of the arecanut, rather than relying only on market price and demand for raw arecanut.
- The demands matter because they include a Karnataka Areca Bio-economy, Value Addition and Alternative Use Mission-2035, a research centre, a startup and technology transfer fund, and grants for pilot projects.
What to watch next
