The Federation of All India Farmer Associations (FAIFA) has called on the Indian government to end the high taxation regime, which is negatively impacting tobacco growers. FAIFA argues that stringent regulations, low production, and lack of export incentives are harming tobacco growers across the country. The organization has organized rallies and awareness meetings to highlight the issue. FAIFA also criticized foreign NGOs for spreading false propaganda against the tobacco industry and urged the government to involve tobacco growers in policy-making decisions. The organization emphasized the economic and social benefits provided by the tobacco sector, which employs over 45.7 million people. Additionally, FAIFA expressed concerns about the upcoming World Health Organization convention on tobacco.
