India Debt relief package for small coffee growers : Scindia
The Centre will soon announce a debt relief package for small coffee growers to bail them out of the present distress, Minister of State for Commerce and Industry Jyotiraditya M Scindia today said. ''We are looking at debt relief for the full plantation sector. Coffee growers have been going through very difficult times. So, debt relief is something we are currently considering for small coffee growers,'' he said. Mr Scindia said the Industry and Commerce Ministry had already given about Rs 600 crore package to the Tea Board over the Five-Year Plan for technological upgrade of tea plantation, special purpose tea fund for rejuvenation and replantation and marketing across the board. Along with debt relief, issues pertaining to social costs borne by tea companies would be addressed through another package, he said. ''There are other issues needed to be addressed like social cost. It is within our ambit and we are looking into it,'' he said. Social costs include construction of houses, maintenance, drinking water facility, sanitation and medical facility for workers in the plantation sectors. -- (UNI) -- 04CA25.xml
