Neera Comes To Rescue Of Toddy-Tappers - AP Initiative ***** From Vizag ...
Khadi, village industries panel promoting it as health drink
VISAKHAPATNAM: The Khadi and Village Industries Commission (KVIC) is promoting `neera', extract from palmyrah trees, as a health drink, so as to uplift the depressed toddy-tappers economically.
The problems of toddy-tappers in north coastal Andhra are three-fold. One is that tapping is seasonal that keeps them engaged only for five months; the second is the area restrictions imposed by the Government, whereby they are allowed to sell toddy within a limited radius of the extract point; and the third is the mushrooming of IMFL shops in every nook and corner, including villages.
According to the KVIC Director, K. Krishnaswamy, if an initiative could be worked out to market neera as an alternative soft drink, the toddy tappers could see the light of the day. ...
If neera could be filtered properly using a simple scientific method and if some preservatives added as prescribed by the Pune-based National Chemical Laboratory, immediately after extraction, neera could be bottled or canned and stored for six months, he said.
"^^^^^ Chilled neera is a very nutritious drink. It contains a number of minerals and salts; acids like ascorbic acid, nicotinic acid and riboflavin; and also proteins and vitamin C. It has less calorific value, apart from being sweet and delicious. It has been medically proved that neera is better than mineral water.'' ...
ECONOMICS
Mr. Krishnaswamy said that the economics of neera would be good for both tree growers and tappers, if planned and executed properly.
"One palmyrah tree yields four litres of neera a day; so the extract from a hundred trees would come to 400 litres. The same could be sold at the rate of Rs.10 a litre, amounting to Rs.6 lakhs for a season of five months for the growers. At the same time one tapper could climb 30 trees on an average in a day and his rate is fixed at Rs.3 per litre, which would amount to a daily nettting of Rs.360.'' ...
