There are often complaints between sugarcane farmers and sugar mill owners regarding payment. Sugar mill owners delay the payment too much and sometimes waiting for payment becomes too long.
To solve these problems, it has been decided to provide relief to sugarcane farmers from the government. The government has announced a subsidy of 3500 crores on sugar exports. This assistance amount will be deposited directly into the farmers’ accounts as payment of dues on behalf of sugar mills.
