Dear Mr.Pai
Thank you for your response. Paddy was grown previously, I cant grow paddy due to scarcity of labour and monkey menace. All my coconut yield is spoiled by monkey attack.
I am much interested in agriculture. I was told ;JAIKAI' (pronounced in Kannada) monkey dont eat them. I dont have the idea of its cultivation, its seed availability etc.

More information on any other cultivation also taken with much gratitude.

Thanking you
Bhat

Mr.Bhat,
No dought ' Jaikai' is a good crop but what I am afraid is you are more inclined towards long term crops than focussing on short duration,low investment and high return cash crops that keep the growers in high spirits as the revenue is generated every quarter.
I request u to keep in touch on my e-mail so that we shall have exchange of views.
Sudhir.
