Offline application

• If a farmer is willing to sell the aromatic oils/products of the 25 identified species at the prescribed minimum support price (details of prices are available on the website), they must first contact CAP, Selaqui. The farmer will then bring the produced oil at their own expense, along with photocopies of the crop registration form, bank statement, and other relevant documents.
• The CAP office tests the quality of the oil in its laboratory, and only after passing the quality test are the essential oils/products accepted for purchase. The purchase amount is then transferred directly to the farmer's bank account. If the quality of the oil does not meet the prescribed standards, it will not be purchased.
