Karnataka Sugarcane Farmers Demand MSP, FRP Revision Amid Protest
Sugarcane farmers in Karnataka continue their protest demanding a revised Minimum Selling Price (MSP) of Rs 60 per kg for sugar and a higher Fair and Remunerative Price (FRP) of Rs 5,500 per tonne for sugarcane. The Union government formed a four-member committee to examine these demands. The agitation at Kognoli toll plaza on NH-48 has disrupted traffic, with Maharashtra Police advising alternate routes. Farmers also seek transparency in weighing, increased ethanol procurement, differential sugar pricing, and shareholder rights in sugar factories.
