„Emphasis obviously is on participatory approach to decision making. Around 30 odd self help groups have been formed who have acquired community assets like pulper houses, godown/information centers, vermi-compost units, hi-tech/sprayers/sprinklers and roaster & grinder units etc. Such self help groups work towards achieving the goals of higher productivity, quality improvement, value addition apart from knowledge building through experience sharing. It is also visualized as a powerful tool to evolve organized marketing for the benefit of the community at the grass root level.“

„Today, we live in times of better self-control. We may not have the luxury of having eight cups of coffee, given the state of our physique and the worrying nature of our minds. And yet, even the generation reared on "one black coffee" still realizes that there is no greater pleasure than the perfectly made first cup of coffee. Everyone talks about getting up on the right side of the bed as the perfect start to the day, but to me, it has been and will always be the perfectly brewed cup of coffee, which sets the tone for the day.“

„Likewise primary producers also need to look at forward integration into processing of value added coffees at origins through joint ventures/partnerships; more so in countries like India that have a potential domestic market also. New types of producer-buyer relationships such as contract farming also need to be given impetus along with development and promotion of "fair trade" coffees. With the coffee industry the world over undergoing a "secular" change, producers need to be innovative, goal oriented and forward looking. The traditional mind set of the coffee grower has to change and in this new environment, it is producers with entrepreneurial vision and managerial capacity who will survive and succeed.“

„"Having made a point that the full benefits of the declining rates of interest have not percolated to critical sectors such as agriculture, we welcome the announcement on SBI's interest rate band of 2 per cent above PLR and for secured advances it is below level. The increase in price of urea and MOP will however add to the farmer's overall spending," she said.“
