This refers to the report `Exporters find domestic cashew market lucrative' (Business Line, June 19). In view of the large workforce employed by the industry, especially in Kerala, Tamil Nadu, Karnataka and Andhra Pradesh, the Centre should take timely action and reintroduce incentives such as Vishesh Krushi aur Gram Udyog Yojana. In this context, it is also worth considering the problems faced by a large number of SMEs due to the rising rupee. The Government should support them by, among other things, improving infrastructure facilities and giving special tax concessions.
