Sugarcane producers to get transportation cost

Bhopal, Mar 15 (UNI) The Madhya Pradesh Government has decided to provide Rs 25 per qunital for conveying sugarcane to farmers in order to provide the relief.

Replying to supplementary questions during the Question Hour, Agriculture Minister Choudhary Chandrabhan Singh said detailed instructions in this regard will be issued within one-two days.

He said farmers will receive Rs 25 per quintal as transportation cost upon supplying sugarcane at other places instead of sugar factories in their area.

Most opposition members described the decision as appropriate and said that it must be ensured that sugarcane was purchased from peasants at minimum support price.
