Special Cover on Palakkadan Matta rice of Kerala
The rice variety fell into the public domain and was sown by the farmer and soon became a regular rice crop in Palakkad. This rice was popularly referred to as Matta and exclusively cultivated in Palakkad and later came to be known as the PALAKKADAN MATTA RICE. Some of the old and popular varieties of Palakkadan Matta are Chenkazhama, Chettadi, Aruvakkari, Aryan, Vatton, Ilupappoochampan, Chitteni, Thavalakkannan and the newer varieties like Kunjukunju and jyothi. In page 65 of the 2nd volume of KRISHISASTRAM, a book authored by Mr. J.V. Akkarappatti (a Retired Agricultural Officer) in 1957, there is a special reference to the PALAKKADAN MATTA RICE.
