Raju Shetti: Swabhimani Shetkari Saghtana chief Raju Shetti met Union Minister Nitin Gadkari in Delhi. On this occasion, Shetty discussed various aspects of the agriculture issue with him. Also, Raju Shetty has also demanded to the minister Nitin Gadkari that the central government should take a way on the policy of sugar export along with the increase in ethanol price.
Discussion on various issues
Raju Shetty met Nitin Gadkari at his residence in Delhi. Along with the sugar industry, ongoing works of national highways, political developments in the state, all the farmers including soybean, cotton, onion, paddy farmers are in financial crisis due to the policy of the central government except the sugarcane farmers in the country. Shetty said that due to the special efforts of Nitin Gadkari, the central government has stabilized the policy of ethanol, so the sugar mills have had a little better day.
The market price of sugar should be Rs.38
To stabilize the sugar industry in the country, the minimum market price of sugar should be Rs 38. Also, the price of ethanol should be increased. Raju Shetty demanded that Gadkari take an immediate decision on the sugar export policy. Shetty said that there is an urgent need for the central government to intervene in this regard. Also, no filling of Murma should be done while quadrupling through Sangli-Kolhapur Bypass. Else, most of the villages in Sangli and Kolhapur districts will be completely swept away by the deluge, Shetty said. Therefore, he also demanded that the road should be constructed using pillars.
Imports of palm oil have a major impact on prices
Due to increased inflation, the production cost of sugarcane has increased significantly. This year F.R. Raju Shetty said that it is impossible to cover this cost of production without increasing the rate from P. For this, there is a need to fix the sugar export policy by setting the minimum market price of sugar at Rs 38. A large amount of palm oil is imported into the country. Shetty said that this is adversely affecting the price of soybeans. Most farmer suicides occur in soybean producing areas. Also, Raju Shetty expressed a clear opinion that it is necessary to impose restrictions on the import of soybean meal. Along with this, a detailed discussion was also held on the National Highway Ratnagiri -Kolhapur to Ankle and Pune -Kagal highways and about possible flood situation due to the ongoing work. Also UncleRaju Shetty also assured that the roads will be built by erecting pillars without filling while four-folding through Kolhapur Bypass.
