 Stating that the Kuppam project initiated in 1997 with Israel technology had so far covered 10,000 acres under high-value vegetable crops and it had resulted in improving the net revenue per acre per annum from $100 to $920, Naidu said that another 10,000 hectares would be covered in the second phase.
