The arecanut cultivation area in India has witnessed a substantial growth of 30.25% over the last five years. This surge indicates a positive trend for arecanut farmers and the industry as a whole. Karnataka, a major arecanut-producing state, has seen an even higher increase of 32.42% in arecanut cultivation.
