Andhra Coconut Growers Demand ₹20,000 MSP
Coconut farmers in Andhra Pradesh are asking the government to set a minimum price of ₹20,000 for 1,000 coconuts.
The price of coconuts has dropped from ₹26 to ₹14, which is causing farmers to lose money.
They say this is because more coconuts are being sent to other countries from Tamil Nadu and Kerala.
The farmers' group says they will protest all over the state if the government doesn't help them by setting this minimum price.
