What the document says, word for word

The citrus-rejuvenation help is given as planting material and inputs; the FAQ prints no rate for it, so only the 50% planting-material subsidy is shown. Status unknown: the Directorate’s FAQ is undated (file named 2025) and we found no 2025-26 or 2026-27 order or budget line naming this scheme. Ask the District Horticulture Officer whether it is running this year.

“(i) 50% subsidy sale of planting materials. (ii) Planting materials and input assistance for citrus rejuvenation programme.”
