MAHOTTARI, Nov 29: The government has fixed the price of sugarcane for the current fiscal year (FY 2081/82 BS). The government on Thursday determined the new price of sugarcane for this year by adding Rs 20 per quintal to the price fixed last year.
With this, the new price has reached Rs 585 per quintal. Meanwhile, the Mahottari chapter of Sugarcane Farmers' Association said the rise in sugarcane price has not been adjusted to the ratio of the increase in the price of the commodity in general. This, in turn, has increased frustration among the farmers, the association stated. Naresh Singh Kushwaha, the district president of the association, said the government did not consult with the sugar producers and sugarcane farmers while determining the price.
