Cardamom traders decide to boycott e-auctions
Published September 18th, 2007
The cardamom traders in Bodinayakannur, the main trading centre of the commodity, on Monday decided to boycott e-auction from today.
The traders said the decision to boycott, taken at their meeting attended by 50 members, was to protest the introduction of the new system without giving them enough opportunity to acquaint themselves with the e-auction system.
The Spices Board launched the new system in Bodinayakannur late last month and since then the auctions of Cardamom Planters Association (CPA) and STCL Ltd have been held under the electronic system developed by the TCS Ltd.
