Sunghoon Krepalloo, secrétaire de la Small Planters Association a écrit au Premier ministre Pravind Jugnauth pour lui demander d’accorder une assistance financière aux planteurs affectés par les inondations. « Most of them have been affected, around 70 to 75%(Rs 260 to Rs 400M loss of investment). Our local production will drop from 2 000 /ton week to less than 800 tons. »
Il avait fait des suggestions au gouvernement. « A one time financial assistance of Rs 10 000 be granted to the 3 200 plus or minus affected small planters whose family income is solely from plantation. The minister of Finance in his next Budget must make a provision of Rs 20 M to cater for such climatic hazards which are becoming regular features. And the policy holder of Crop Loss Compensation Scheme be paid at the earliest. » Il demande aussi d’améliorer la qualité du sol.
