Sugar production up 20%, mills plead for increase in minimum selling price
The Hindu
Sugar mills are lobbying for the government to hike the minimum selling price (MSP) of sugar to ₹34.50 per kg to help them clear payment arrears to cane farmers. The production rose 20% in the first five months of the season which started in September, putting further pressure on falling prices, said the Indian Sugar Mills Association on Wednesday.
This comes at a time when large numbers of sugarcane farmers from western Uttar Pradesh, one of the country’s biggest sugar producing areas, are camped on the borders of Delhi as part of the protest against three farm reform laws.
