In Karnataka, deadlock between sugarcane farmers and mill owners may end after multiple rounds of talks led by CM D.K. Shivkumar. Both parties agreed that the central government will set the minimum selling price (MSP) for sugar first, then cane prices will be fixed. Farmers demand a ₹6,000 per ton incentive. They have requested two days to discuss the proposal before finalizing their decision. Shivkumar emphasized the importance of farmers' livelihoods and said the state government supports their demands and will engage with the center.
