The record
Written from the 1 report below. Nothing here is unsourced.
- Karnataka sugarcane growers, led by the state sugarcane growers' association president Kuruburu Shantakumar, have demanded that the Centre raise the Fair and Remunerative Price to Rs 4,500 per tonne from the current Rs 3,650.
- The farmers said rising fertiliser costs, higher labour wages, and lower cane yields justify the increase.
- The association also criticised the practice of paying FRP based on the previous year's sugar recovery as unscientific and unfair to farmers.
- Growers want restrictions on direct ethanol production from cane juice and syrup relaxed so they can earn additional income.
- The farmers' demands matter because drought and poor rainfall have cut yields, and the outcome affects grower incomes and sugar prices in the state.
What to watch next
- Whether the Centre responds to the demand to raise the FRP to Rs 4,500 per tonne.
- Whether the state government sets a State Advisory Price of Rs 800 per tonne on the Tamil Nadu model.
- Any change to ethanol production restrictions on direct production from cane juice and syrup.
