The Hindu
Delay in crushing will give them less returns as the crop will lose its moisture content
Kulkarni Satyanarayana Rao is a sugarcane farmer from Atmakur village in Sadashivapet mandal. He has cultivated the crop in an area of 12 acres, and now, the sugarcane is ready for harvest and transport to the nearby sugar mill called Ganapathi Sugars at Fasalwadi.
Any delay in sugarcane crushing will get him less returns as the crop will lose its moisture content. But, he is in a helpless situation.
Not only Satyanarayana Rao. Several other farmers who are dependent on Ganapathi Sugars for their income are at a loss. Reason: The employees at Ganapathi Sugars are on a strike for the last 20 days demanding wage revision.
