Kerala’s move to incentivise rubber growers by increasing the support price to ₹170 per kg from ₹150 in the State Budget for 2021-22 will provide some respite to small and marginal farmers, who are reeling under high cost of production, stakeholders said.
The majority of the 7-lakh rubber growers in Kerala, the largest producing State, fall under the small and marginal category. The higher support price will be effective from April 1.
