Wildlife attacks have caused crop damage exceeding ₹1.35 crore in Kozhikode during the first eight months of this year. Over 72.42 hectares of crops were affected, with banana suffering the most significant losses, alongside rubber, coconut, and arecanut. This escalating issue is prompting the Agriculture Department to convene a State-level conclave on September 29 to discuss preventative measures. Farmers are urging the adoption of advanced technologies like AI and bio-fencing to protect.
