Insurance scheme for vegetable growers
Special Correspondent
THIRUVANANTHAPURAM: The Kerala government proposes to institute an insurance scheme for vegetable growers on the lines of a scheme now in operation for the benefit of paddy cultivators, Agriculture Minister Mullakkara Ratnakaran told the Assembly on Thursday.
Compensation
Vegetable growers would be compensated for crop loss just as paddy cultivators were being compensated at the rate of Rs. 12,500 a hectare over and above the Central and State level crop insurance schemes, he said in response to a calling attention motion from K.P. Mohanan (JD-S).
The government would also launch the Kisan Abhiman project, which envisages provision of pension to farmers, from this year, the Minister added.
