Mondaypet, July 18: A request was submitted to Young Indian Farmers Association (YIFFA) MP Yaduveer Wodeyar to draw the attention of the Coffee Board of India to provide additional facilities, including its own building, to the Coffee Board of Somwarpet taluk.
Young Indian Farmers Association District President Srinidhi Lingappa and office bearers, who met Yaduveer at the MP's office in Mysore, requested him to provide various facilities to the Somwarpet Coffee Board.
Since the Coffee Board office does not have its own building, Srinidhi Lingappa drew the attention of the MPs to discuss with the Coffee Board and take necessary steps to provide its own site and other basic facilities including office, officers' residence, laboratory, auditorium, guest house.
Coffee production has taken an important place in the domestic and global markets. Kodagu district accounts for 100% of the total coffee production in the country. 99% of the farmers are coffee growers. But the Coffee Board office, which has been functioning in Somwarpet for decades, still does not have its own building. It is being operated in a private building by paying rent. He said that the Coffee Board needs to be upgraded for the convenience and interest of the coffee farmers.
Speaking after accepting the petition, the MP assured that he would discuss the matter with the concerned Coffee Board officials soon and take necessary action.
On this occasion, the Secretary of the Association, Sajan Mandanna, office bearers Adarsh Thammayya, Premsagar, Vinay Kushalappa, Asith, Janardhan, Abhishek Govindappa, Vijay, Lakshmi Kant Komarappa were present.
