c11.s2.22

Special consideration was made by the Peshwa government for such costly plantations as those of sugarcane, cocoanut and betelnut. The planter had to wait long for any profit and so did the government. This was the common practice in the Deccan during the Peshwa regime, and I believe the principle existed also in Shivaji's time.
