Madikeri, July 7: As the coffee sector in Kodagu district is likely to face difficulties in the coming days due to the heavy rains that have fallen this year, a growers' delegation led by MLA Dr. Mantar Gowda has appealed to Coffee Board Chairman M.G. Dinesh to come to the aid of the growers.
The prominent leaders who met Coffee Board Chairman M.G. Dinesh who arrived in Somwarpet explained the hardships and losses being faced by the coffee growers of Kodagu in recent days.
The areas that grow the most coffee have received 70 to 100 inches of rain from January to the end of June. Due to the excessive rain, it has not been possible to carry out agricultural activities on time and take precautionary measures. Due to the heavy rains in the district for another three months, there is a possibility of rot disease in coffee farming.
Due to this, it is impossible to get the expected coffee harvest next year. Therefore, the office bearers of the Kodagu Planters Association and the growers of various parts of the country appealed to the government and the Coffee Board to immediately conduct a study on the adverse effects on the coffee sector and take appropriate measures to provide appropriate relief to the growers. MLA Dr. Mantar Gowda convinced the Coffee Board President M.G. Dinesh about the plight of the coffee growers.
On this occasion, Kodagu Planters Association President Nanda Belyappa, Secretary C.K. Belyappa, Executive Committee Member Vishwanath KK, Coffee Board Former Vice President Bose Mandanna, Goudalli Krishi Pattina Sahakari Sangha President S.B. Bharat Kumar, Kodagu District Vokkaligara Sangha President S.M. Changappa, PLD Bank President B.B. Satish, Advocate B. Deepak, coffee growers A.R. Muthanna, K.M. Lokesh, N.B. Ganapathi and others were present.
