Non-availability of labour worries farmers
Scores of subabul and eucalyptus farmers are bearing the brunt of the COVID-19 impact as the coronavirus-induced lockdown has aggravated the labour shortage in the prime harvesting season of the pulpwood plantation crop.
Many farmers are spending anxious moments worried over the economic fallout of the delay in harvesting their matured subabul and eucalyptus crops owing to the non-availability of labour. There are an estimated 12,000 subabul and eucalyptus farmers in the district.
The pulpwood tree plantations were raised on a little over 1.10 lakh acres in the erstwhile Khammam district.
