Setting a model in exotic fruits cultivation

Kuruvila Joseph, 69, of Tharappel, a progressive planter at Meppadi in Wayanad district, has set a successful model in cultivating exotic fruits such as lychee, rambutan and mangosteen. Mr. Joseph turned to exotic fruits cultivation after the massive destruction of pepper vines on his plantation a few decades ago. As the temperate climate and fertile soil in the hill district are quite suitable for the growth of exotic fruit plants, the cultivation will help provide a sustainable income to farmers, he added. ‘We have launched a farmer producer company named Wayanad Innovative Farmers Producing Company and we are planning to set up an exotic fruits auction centre to lend a hand to fruit farmers in the district at a later stage,” he said.
