RAMANATHAPURAM:  Alleging that the state government has failed to promote palmyra products, BJP state president K Annamalai said efforts to provide palmyra sugar in ration shops could promote the palmyra tree farmers in the state.

During his visit to a palmyra tree farm in Ramanathapuram on Sunday as a part of his ongoing En Maan En Makkal Yatra, he said ever since palmyra toddy was banned, people from many areas have given up on growing palmyra trees in the state. ” In Ramanathapuramm, which houses more than a crore palmyra trees, many farmers have given up on palmyra cultivation. The state government should have taken action toward the promotion of the other palmyra products. The BJP will take action towards promoting palmyra products for the welfare of palmyra farmers,” he added.

Speaking about the hardships faced by palmyra farmers, Annamalai assured to take action towards solving their issues and explained how the union government has initiated farmers’ production organisation (FPO) in efforts to promote value-based production across the nation.
