THE Coffee Board has relaxed and modified certain norms relating to the replanting subsidy scheme for small arabica growers in the current financial year in the wake of widespread white stem borer infestation.

Small arabica growers, who have taken up the replanting of arabica coffee through gap/vacancy filling to the tune of more than 30 per cent in an unit area of their estate during 2004 and 2005 planting season may contact the Board's liaison officers concerned for more details and submit their application for replanting subsidy on or before December 31, 2005, said a Coffee Board press release.

The scheme is expected to encourage the small arabica growers who take up replanting of old and unproductive arabica coffee plants with improved varieties suitable to the zones concerned.
