Farmers in dire straits, says Kurubur Shanthakumar
The State Sugarcane Cultivators Association has urged the new Chief Minister, Basavaraj Bommai, to focus on the problems being faced by farmers and help them tide over the financial crisis. Addressing a press conference here on Wednesday, Kurubur Shanthakumar, president of the association, said that the State Advisory Price (SAP) for sugarcane for the year 2021-22 was yet to be fixed though the sugar mills have started procuring and crushing cane. He said as per the Sugar Control Act 1966, the sugar mills are supposed to complete the payment to the farmers within 14 days of procuring the crop from them. But the government was yet to announce the SAP and hence the farmers are in dire straits.
