Farmers can make a big decision in CCEA, that is, the Cabinet Committee for Economic Affairs. At the meeting of the Cabinet Committee (CEA) of the Cabinet (CEA), a decision can be taken in fixing the correct and beneficial price of sugarcane (FRP). This rate will be fixed for 2025-26 season (October to September). Sugarcane farmers are guaranteed to meet sugar mills, the minimum government value is FrP, no matter how much the plants are available from the sugar. Currently, the FRP of the Sugarcane has been fixed at 40 340 for 10.25 per cent. At this meeting, it is believed that the FRP could be increased to provide relief to sugarcane farmers.
In February last year, the union cabinet approved the FRP provided by the Sugar Mills to the Chinese Season 2024-25 (October-September). The FRP of the sugar was fixed at Rs. The Queest was given a premium of Rs. The FRP was fixed at Rs.
The need for farmers has long been pending
Farmers have long been demanding the increase in sugarcane FRP. Farmers say they are not benefiting from the current rate because the cost of agriculture is increasing, and the impact of crop loss is high. On the other hand, Chinese companies are paying late. Because of this, the farmers are double winning. Considering this, farmers are seeking to increase the FRP soon. The government can accept this demand of farmers and decide to increase it soon.

Under the FRP system, farmers no longer have to wait for the end of the season or to announce the profits of the sugar mills or the government. This new system ensures a certain reasonable price for farmers whether the sugar mills are profitable. (Input of Aishwarya Bali)
