There has been a gradual increase in the productivity of Cardamom, Coffee and Rubber. However, there has been a slight decline in the productivity of tea, because of the senile plantations and a slight decline in the productivity of tobacco due to adverse weather conditions and cyclonic rains.

The Government through the respective Commodity Boards is implementing various programmes/schemes in the respective commodity growing areas of the country including in Kerala and West Bengal for improvement in the production, productivity and quality as well as for promotion of exports and value addition by providing financial and technical assistance through Plan Schemes to growers and other stakeholders for new planting, replanting, rejuvenation, quality up-gradation and market promotion.

This information was given by Shri Jyotiradiya M. Scindia, Minister of State for Commerce & Industry in written reply to a question in Lok Sabha today.
