State Agreed Price increased to ₹360 per quintal, says Amarinder Singh
Sugarcane farmers in Punjab on Tuesday withdrew their protest in response to Chief Minister Amarinder Singh’s announcement of a ₹35 per quintal hike in the State Agreed Price (SAP) for the cane crushing season 2021-22, taking the SAP to ₹360 per quintal. The matter was resolved during a meeting of farmers’ union leaders with the Chief Minister here this afternoon, during which Capt. Amarinder, while agreeing to the SAP hike, said the State’s fiscal situation had prevented an adequate increase in the SAP for the past three to four years.More Related News
