Minister for Agriculture V.S. Sunil Kumar on Saturday launched the State-level raw coconut procurement drive initiated by the Kerala Kerakarshaka Sahakarana Federation (Kerafed), the apex cooperative of coconut farmers, with the support of around 190 primary agriculture cooperative societies in Kerala.
Addressing the inaugural event, Mr. Sunil Kumar said the government was going ahead with a number of new projects for ensuring fair price for rubber, rice, and coconut. It was the fall in prices that actually prompted the government to come up with an immediate relief measure for coconut farmers through the latest procurement drive, he pointed out.
