Lac to be a specified forest produce in ten districts
With a view to freeing the lac producer forest dwellers from exploitation of local traders and to ensure remunerative prices of their produce to them, the cabinet decided to notify lac as specified forest produce under Madhya Pradesh Vanopaj (Vyapar Viniyaman) Adhiniyam, 1986 in ten districts. These districts are- Hoshangabad, Narsinghpur, Chhindwara, Balaghat, Seoni, Mandla, Dindori, Umaria, Shahadol and Anuppur.
The cabinet will review the implementation and impact of this decision after a year.
In view of the volume of lac production in the state the cabinet authorized forest department to declare it specified forest produce in other districts also. After declaration of lac as specified forest produce Madhya Pradesh Laghu Vanopaj Sahakari Sangh was declared the agent of state government for collection and trade of the same. The Sangh would be agent of the government in those districts, too, where it is declared specified forest produce in future.
After declaring lac as specified forest produce entire net income from collection and trade of lac would be given to the poor tribal and other lac collectors in concerning areas. Laghu Vanopaj Sahakari Sangh would continue to work for increasing lac production in all the areas as earlier.
