Govt fixes sugarcane price

Mahottari, Nov 29: The government has fixed the price of sugarcane for the current fiscal year 2081/82 BS.     

The government on Thursday determined the new price of sugarcane for this year by adding Rs.20 per quintal. With this, the new price has reached Rs 585 per quintal.     

Meanwhile, Sugarcane Farmers' Association Mahottari said the rise in sugarcane price that has not been adjusted to the ratio of the increase in the price of the commodity in general, has increased frustration of the farmers.     

Naresh Singh Kushwaha, the district president of the association, said the government did not consult with the sugar producers and sugarcane farmers while determining the price.(RSS)
