The record
Written from the 1 report below. Nothing here is unsourced.
- Sugarcane farmers in Haveri have announced a protest outside Union Minister Pralhad Joshi's residence in Hubballi on September 29.
- The farmers are demanding a price of ₹5,500 per tonne of sugarcane, alleging the central government is cheating them on the minimum support price.
- The farmers' other demands include crop insurance, government-installed weighing machines at sugar factories, a sugarcane yield lab in Haveri district, and payment of pending bills by sugar mills.
- Farmer leaders from other states are also likely to join the September 29 protest.
- The farmers have warned of a serious struggle if their demands are not met, and the issue matters because the support price for sugarcane has reportedly not been revised in ten years.
What to watch next
- Whether farmer leaders from other states join the September 29 protest outside Pralhad Joshi's residence
- Any government response to the ₹5,500-per-tonne price demand
- Whether the two rival farmers' associations in Haveri unite or continue their public dispute
