Many farmers in the State have expressed disappointment over the State Advised Price for sugarcane for the 2013-14 season announced by Chief Minister Jayalalithaa on Saturday and have sought an increase in the procurement price of the crop.
Responding to the announcement of Rs. 550 hike in procurement price and the SAP for sugarcane at Rs.2,650 per tonne for 2013-2014, farmer organisations urged the State and Central governments to fix the procurement price at higher rates that would make up for rising cultivation costs.
