Among the fruit trees that will be planted are mango, mosambi (sweet lime), pomegranate, guava, orange, plum and custard apple.
The farmers who have agreed to plant fruit trees in these plots of land would be given all forms of assistance by the state government including selling the fruits outside the state.
