About CPCRI

 

         
   
   
   
         

The  Central Plantation Crops Research Institute (CPCRI) wss established in 1916 and later brought under Indian Council of Agricultural Research (ICAR) during 1970. The initial mandate of the institute was on crop husbandry of coconut, arecanut, cocoa, oilpalm, cashew and spices.  The restructuring process during  VII and VIII Plan resulted in the establishment of separate Research Institute/Centres for Spices, Cashew and Oilpalm, but the  institute continue to maintain strong linkage with these Institutions.  At present the Institute has a countrywide research network of four regional stations, four research centres  and 17 Centres under AICRP on palms.  Besides, the institute also hosts the headquarter of  Indian Society of Plantation Crops.
