“The situation of the Coconut and Arecanut growing farmers which is now prevailing has never been faced before in Karnataka State. In this connection, I personally visited the severely affected areas of Bengaluru, Tumkur, Hassan, Chickmagalur, Chitradurga, Davangere and coastal areas of Mangaluru during March 2017 to assess the situation. The coconut and arecanut plantations were completely destroyed following crop damage, drought and other reasons and the farmers have financially suffered a lot and put to hardship. Almost the same problem is faced by the farmers of some other districts also,” Deve Gowda said in his request to the union minister. Advertisement
