The Hindu Business Line : Vanilla growers to hold dharna

The vanilla growers in Kerala will take out a march to the Spices Board headquarters and hold a dharna before it on August 29 in protest against the policies of the Central Government and the board. Mr Paul Jose, Managing Director, Vanilla India Producer Company Ltd (Vanilco), alleged that the policies of the Government and the board were against the existence of the company which was created on the directions of the board following the sharp fall in the prices of vanilla. He said the Government had refused to either stop or limit imports of synthetic vanillin and this compelled growers to come out to register their protest. - Our Bureau
