Sugarcane Growers in Karnataka and Haryana Demand Higher Prices and Support Measures
Sugarcane growers in Karnataka and Haryana are demanding higher prices amid rising cultivation costs. Karnataka farmers seek Rs 5,500 per tonne, crop insurance, and improved factory operations, warning of protests if demands are unmet. Haryana growers request Rs 600 per quintal, citing losses despite profitable sugar and ethanol industries. Both groups also call for timely factory crushing, infrastructure improvements, and better support services to enhance sugar recovery and farmer incomes ahead of the new season.
