The extension wing is one of the vital links between the planning committees on the one hand and the research on the other &
is in extension since 1948.
In order to achieve the various physical & financial targets fixed for the industry & to have effective administration, the entire traditional areas has been divided into 5 regions headed by officer of the rank of the deputy director (Extension), who in turn is assisted by the senior liaison officers at the district level & junior director (E) at Bangalore. The traditional coffee growing areas includes Karnataka, kerala, and Tamil Nadu, which account for 98% of the area under coffee.
Presently the extension services in traditional areas cover an area of 2.35 lakhs hectares owned by 1.15 Lakhs growers. Out of these, 98% of the growers who own around 61.7% of the area form the small growers sector (10 HA & below). Today the extension services of the coffee board are quite unique in transfer of technology in the entire country.
