Mysuru’s sugarcane growers seek higher FRP
The Hindu
When prices of diesel and cooking gas are increased several times a year, why not for sugarcane,” asks farmer leader Shanthkumar
The State Sugarcane Growers’ Association on Monday said the change in Fair and Remunerative Price (FRP) announced by the Centre for sugarcane was very meagre and demanded that the FRP must be revised appropriately in the interest of farmers. The farmers, led by Association President Kurubur Shanthkumar, took out a bike and tractor rally in protest against the “imbalanced” FRP, from Gun House Circle and later staged a demonstration at the Deputy Commissioner’s office seeking immediate revision of FRP. “When the prices of diesel, cooking gas and fertilizers are increased several times in a year, why cannot the FRP,” he asked, while addressing the protesters.More Related News
