BAGHPAT/MEERUT (UP): The farm community in western Uttar Pradesh has given a mixed response to the government’s decision to increase Fair and Remunerative Price (FRP) of sugarcane to Rs 340 per quintal.
The Union Cabinet on Wednesday decided to hike the minimum price that mills have to pay to sugarcane growers by Rs 25 to Rs 340 per quintal for the 2024-25 season starting October.
This is the highest FRP for sugarcane announced by Prime Minister Narendra Modi-led government since coming to power in 2014.
