Consumer commission orders nursery to pay ₹1 lakh compensation to farmer after banana plants didn’t bear fruit

In a quiet corner of Kerala, a farmer’s hopes for a bountiful banana harvest withered — not from drought or disease, but from a promise unfulfilled. Now, a local consumer court has stepped in, ordering a nursery to pay ₹1 lakh in compensation after the banana plants it supplied failed to bear fruit as expected. The complaint was filed by a farmer from Karimpanthottiyil, Wandoor, in this district, who had taken land on lease for farming. He bought 150 banana saplings, including the ‘Nendran’ variety, from Chungathara Krishi Nursery, paying ₹3,425. He was told the plants would bear fruit within 10 months, in time to sell during the Onam season. However, the plants did not bear fruit on time. Worse, instead of the ‘Nendran’ variety, he received a different type called ‘Swarnamukhi’. Other saplings he received were also not the ones he ordered. The farmer filed a complaint with the Consumer Commission, asking for ₹1.64 lakh in compensation. The local agriculture officer and an advocate commissioner visited the farm and submitted reports that supported the …
