Gonikoppa Rajmarg for stolen black pepper

Special Report: H.K. Jagadish

Gonikoppal, Mar. 13: Assamese workers who arrived in the coffee plantations of farmers and growers from various parts of Kodagu as laborers have settled down and are keeping an eye on the black pepper in the plantations. The growers who work as laborers are forced to be careful of them. As soon as the Assamese workers come to know that the golden crop is getting more money, they have found a way to steal it.

Some retail traders near the bus stand in Gonikoppa city are waiting for the arrival of the Assamese workers to buy the stolen black pepper. They are selling the raw black pepper they bring in their handbags at the price they get and leaving without fearing anyone. Gonikoppa town has become a major hub for stolen black pepper. It is now being seen in the town that black pepper is illegally brought from the gardens of farmers and growers, sold for the money they get on the weekly market day, and then used the money to buy the things they need. Some middlemen are getting fed up with the stolen black pepper and are giving them more encouragement. Due to this, black pepper is being sold in the town market premises on the weekly market day.

The farmers of Kodagu, who are facing a shortage of labor, are not bothered much about such issues as they are dependent on Assamese workers. Knowing this, the workers are bringing the black pepper raw in small bags and selling it.

It is necessary for the farmers of Kodagu to keep a special watch on the workers while chopping the black pepper. If they are negligent, they will have to face a lot of consequences in the future.
