Vanilla Growers To Hold Dharna On Aug 29

Kochi: The vanilla growers in Kerala will take out a march to the Spices Board headquarters and hold a dharna before it on August 29 in protest against the policies of the Central Government and the board. The policies of the Government and the board were against the existence of the company, which was created on the directions of the board following the sharp decline in the prices of vanilla. The Government had opposed to either stop or limit imports of synthetic vanillin and this compelled growers to come out to file their protest.
