The United Planters Association of Southern India (UPASI) has expressed concern over the proposal to impose a maximum limit for the purchase of subsidized fertilizers for plantation.
UPASI President Prashant Bhansali said in a release that the proposed limit is 200 bags per month of plantation.
“The move will have a serious impact on the plantation sector in South India, which employs 10.82 lakh workers in rural areas and is spread over 11.57 lakh hectares,” said Bhansali.
