It is unfortunate that inadequate attention is being given for promotion of plantations where there is great potential for future. Companies concerned should note that negative experiences of farming community would spread more rapidly like wildfire than successful stories.
Large number of companies are putting their predominant emphasis on biofuel processing today rather than simultaneously developing feedstocks sustainably for tomorrow. Improving the quality of germplasm should get top priority. Unless productive germplasm is given to ensure good returns, it would be difficult to attract the farmers to raise plantations even if initial subsidies are ensured.
Formal understanding should be entered into with farmers taking them into full confidence of what support is possible and what is not and meet the obligations assiduously leaving no room for the farmers to get dissatisfied.
