The Union government has declared fair and remunerative price (FRP) of ₹2,900 per tonne of sugarcane crushed at a rate of 10% of yield of sugar, Minister for Sugar and Textile Shankar Patil Munenakoppa said in Belagavi on Tuesday. This is an increase of ₹200 per tonne over the last FRP, he told journalists.
“We are committed to ensuring that the factories pay FRP to all sugarcane supplying farmers. We will ask the Deputy Commissioners to see that the factories pay the arrears,” he said.
“Our records say that 99.97% of sugar arrears have been paid to farmers. We will ensure that the rest is released soon,” he said.
