They all survive out of India's Peace
Dividend.
*** While it might be a cool way to live high on the hog on
Mother_India's handouts, it cannot last for ever. In the meantime,
what better way neutralize a restive population than to create
states that produce little, have few resources and thus
making them thoroughly dependent on 'mai-baap's largesse ?
Mono-culture is a great way to rob indigenous peoples' autonomy
by making them slaves to markets controlled by others. Imagine the day
when Jathropa oil suddenly becomes unattractive and its price
plummets? Like the tea that so many rural Assamese took to planting
with the big tea houses now paying little for it.

Dear friends ,

Jatropha toxicity is well studied
around the world. The reference

Mizoram aims to become largest Jatropha
grower
AIZAWL, Oct 8 Agriculture Minister H Rammawi has
expressed hope that Mizoram can be the largest Jatropha producing
state in the country.
We will try to make Mizoram the largest Jatropha producing state in
India. This is possible with our climate which is perfect for the
oil-bearing plant and our large area of arable land.
Mizo farmers can use the plant to substitute it for rice grown
according to traditional shifting jhum cultivation, the minister
told officials of the D1 Oils India (Private) Limited.
On invitation from the state Agriculture minister, Steve Doury, a
London-based reg! ional director and Surju Singh, chairman and
managing director of D1 Oils India (P) Limited had a meeting with the
state Horticulture officials and Mizoram Intodelhna (self-sufficiency)

Re: [Assam] Fwd: [Assam Society] Mizo farmer's staple food will bebiodiesel
I wonder why Assamese businessman cannot be expected to start exporting tea directly abroad - just like the MNCs are doing. With foreign returned supporters like you - with contacts everywhere - I think that is a feasable ploy.
Why make wine only for the local NE market - when it can be sold across India and abroad (never mind that even in France there is glut of wine which is now being converted into ethanol to be mixed with petrol)
Australia is successfully exporting lots of agri products - why not Assam?
