Do not resort to panic selling during lockdown, Areca Growers’ Association tells farmers in Karnataka

Arecanut cooperatives in the State are buying the commodity to a limited extent while adhering to the Covid protocols
The All-India Areca Growers’ Association (AIAGA) has asked arecanut growers not to resort to panic selling of the commodity in the wake of 14-day lockdown in Karnataka. The Karnataka government has implemented a 14-day lockdown from April 27 to May 12 to control the Covid spread in the state.
Speaking to
BusinessLine, Mahesh Puchhappady, General Secretary of the AIAGA, said some growers suffered losses as they rushed to sell arecanut after panicking during the lockdown in 2020. The main reason for the panic selling then was the reduction in the prices of arecanut by private traders at that time.
