The United Planters’ Association of Southern India (UPASI) has urged the Spices Board to take up with the Ministry of Food Processing Industries the need to include spices under the Production Linked Incentive Scheme (PLI).
Including spices in the PLI scheme would encourage value addition with the development of infrastructure for the sector.
UPASI also said there was a need to impose policy restrictions on import of natural rubber for a minimum period of two years and the government should impose safeguard duty of 70% as there was a surge in imports causing injury to domestic growers.
