    plantation is under certified organic and additional 1500 ha of cashew is under conversion stage,” the notification reads.
    It further says in addition to above, another 10,000 Ha of area under different crops is under conversion under
    Paramparagat Krishi Vikas Yojana (PKVY).
    “Branding organic Cashew from Goa can fetch revenue to the State and increase farmer’s income,” it says.
