Very interesting and well articulated explanation. R&D around mechanisation is imperative, although, depending on factors like terrain and shade cover only limited mechanisation may be possible. Finding workers to farm the plantation is an enormous issue already. The middleman/contractor is king in this scenario. We have to evolve in how we farm the plantations, the product offerings, and so on if we want to see this industry sustain and thrive.
