Are you a coconut farmer looking to revitalise your garden? The Replanting & Rejuvenation of Coconut Garden (R&R) scheme, supported by the Coconut Development Board and launched by the Union Territory of Puducherry, is here to help. This initiative aims to support farmers with essential financial assistance for crucial tasks like removing old palms, planting new ones, and adopting better management practices. The aid is directly transferred to eligible farmers' bank accounts via DBT.

What Is This Scheme?

The R&R scheme is designed to help coconut farmers in Puducherry. It focuses on improving the productivity and health of coconut gardens by providing monetary support. Farmers can receive funds for cutting down and removing unproductive palms, buying new seedlings for replanting, and implementing integrated management techniques. This helps ensure that coconut cultivation remains a viable and profitable livelihood.

Who Can Benefit From This Scheme?

This scheme is open to all types of coconut farmers in Puducherry. The main requirement is that you must have a farmer's identity card or valid land ownership documents that can be verified. Whether you own your land or are a tenant cultivating specific types of land, you can potentially benefit from this support.

Why This Scheme Is Important

Coconut farming is a vital part of the agricultural landscape. Over time, coconut palms age and become less productive. This scheme addresses this challenge by encouraging timely replanting and rejuvenation. By providing financial assistance, it helps farmers overcome the costs associated with these essential activities, leading to healthier, more productive gardens and better incomes.
