Even after receiving permission to brew feni out of cashew, this season will also miss out on the drink as the guidelines have not been prepared yet. The same is the fate of proposals for preparing liquor from tapioca, wine from fruits and other value-added products from crops. The guidelines for the production of feni have been prepared by the Excise Department and submitted to the government. The approval of the Legal Department is also required. Sources in the excise department said that the procedures are in the final stages.
