Chandra claims for decades the industry has been politicized, creating further division.

“The farmers know that the only opportunity the industry has to take it forward is to work together. We are making every effort to work with the growers. We have a platform that Government has provided in terms of the assistance that is provided to the growers.”

Chandra says the industry needs constructive contribution to take it forward.
