Will consider raising land ceiling on plantations for diversification: Minister

Industries Minister P. Rajeeve has said that the Kerala government will consider the demand of small-scale farmers to raise the ceiling on plantation land, presently fixed at 5%, used for activities other than growing listed crops.

He was responding to the concerns raised by small-scale farmers in the plantation sector that the 5% land ceiling fixed was insufficient and not profitable, at a meeting held here on Friday.
