Letters Plantations sector
This is with reference to "Jairam Ramesh moots new dept for plantation" (Business Line, June 15):The Minister of State for Commerce recently mooted an idea to create a new department for plantation. At present, there is no interaction between the Commerce and the Agriculture Ministries regarding the development of agri-business plantations. The Minister can also include oilseeds plantations to gain the best attention from the newly created department. The Minister has suggested exploring pepper and vanilla for inter-cropping in the tea gardens of the North-East. The Commerce Ministry must look into the bio-fuel plantations such as jatropha and pongamia. Top priority should be given to the plantations sector and this will be possible only if the department is created at the earliest. Jacquelene Netto Chennai
