Godrej Agrovet Aims to Expand Palm Oil Production in Northeast

Imagine a company called Godrej Agrovet that wants to grow lots more oil palm trees, which make the oil used in some foods.

They're aiming to plant these trees in new areas, especially in the northeastern part of India.

Godrej Agrovet already helps farmers grow oil palms, but they want to add a lot more land for this.

They have mills that turn the palm fruit into oil.

Farmers get help from the government to start, but it takes a few years for the trees to start producing fruit.

During that time, farmers can grow other crops between the trees.

The government helps cover the costs of things like the young trees, irrigation, and fertilizers, making it easier for farmers to join in.
