What the document says, word for word

The support is given as seedlings, not cash; the area must be at least 0.20 ha (p.3), and a farmer who gets this cannot get coconut area-expansion subsidy from CDB, MGNREGA or other schemes (section 7, item 5). These are 2023-24 guidelines under head 2401-00-111-0-08, which has no 2026-27 allocation; the department’s current “State Sector Schemes” page still lists the programme under Comprehensive Horticulture Development, but no current-year order was found, so the status is unknown.

“ಒಂದು ಹೆಕ್ಟೇರ್ ತೆಂಗಿನ ಪ್ರದೇಶ ವಿಸ್ತರಣೆಯನ್ನು ಕೈಗೊಳ್ಳಲು ರೂ.31,966.59ಗಳ ವೆಚ್ಚವನ್ನು ಭರಿಸಬೇಕಾಗಿರುತ್ತದೆ. ಎಲ್ಲಾ ವರ್ಗದ ರೈತರಿಗೆ ಒಂದು ಹೆಕ್ಟೇರ್ ಪ್ರದೇಶ ವಿಸ್ತರಣೆಗೆ ರೂ.9225.00ಗಳ ಸಹಾಯಧನವನ್ನು ಒದಗಿಸಲಾಗುವುದು ಹಾಗೂ ರೈತರು ರೂ.22741.59ಗಳ ವೆಚ್ಚವನ್ನು ಭರಿಸಬೇಕಾಗಿರುತ್ತದೆ.”
