Revised remunerative price for sugarcane from Centre will not benefit farmers in Karnataka

Mysuru, Sept 16: The Centre’s decision to revise the fair and remunerative price (FRP) for sugarcane from Rs. 2,550 per tonne to Rs. 2,750 per tonne for 2018-19 has left the sugarcane cultivators in Karnataka unimpressed.

Though this is seemingly a significant increase in the procurement price that will benefit the farmers, the Sugarcane Cultivators’ Association has pointed out that there is a rider associated with the hike like the FRP is linked to a base sugar recovery rate of 10 per cent as against 9.5 per cent which existed all these years. And this goes against a majority of the farmers in the region where the recovery rate is low.

Kurubur Shanthakumar, President, Sugarcane Cultivators Association, told uni that earlier the FRP was Rs. 2,550 for a sugar recovery rate of 9.5 per cent.

Mangaluru, Jan 16: Following the widespread protests against the National Register of Citizens (NRC) and Citizenship Amendment Act (CAA), former minister and MLA UT Khader on Thursday urged the Centre and State government to address the concerns of the people.

Speaking to reporters here on Thursday, he said there is widespread confusion among the public with regard to the implementation of the Act. People are reluctant to open their doors to Asha workers, out of fear that the NRC exercise is being implemented, said Khader.

He urged the chief minister and home minister to gain the trust of the people on the CAA issue.
