KY Ganesh Gowda of Kotekanahalli in Kolar district took this step after local wholesale merchants and fruit dealers offered him only Rs 10 a kg of banana.

Gowda told TNSE that last year, he took a loan of Rs 2 lakh from Vadagur Society and planted 2006 Elakki banana suckers on his land a few months ago. In all, he spent Rs 4.5 lakh on the crop.
