Sugarcane Growers Halt Protest in North Karnataka for Talks

Sugarcane growers in north Karnataka have temporarily suspended their agitation, allowing the Centre and state government time to address their demands.

Farmers demand Rs 5,500 per tonne for sugarcane, Rs 60 per kg minimum sugar price, better ethanol prices, and implementation of M S Swaminathan Commission recommendations. They warned of resuming protests if demands are unmet by November 26.
