✦AI Summary
Delta farmers in Tamil Nadu are demanding that sugar mills pay an additional ₹500 per tonne for sugarcane to help cover rising input costs. They argue that mills should share their profits from by-products like ethanol and molasses with the cultivators.
Delta farmers, who appear to be less than happy with the recent announcement of special incentives for sugar and paddy, have suggested that the sugar mills be asked to partake the financial burden of the State government in ensuring a fair and remunerative price (FRP) for sugarcane.
