56% FALL IN SUGARCANE AREA TO HIT PUNJAB MILLS

Article Abstract:

The decrease in sugarcane cultivated area from 2.25 lakh hectares in 1995-96 to 1 lakh hectares in 1998-99 will severely affect Punjab's sugar industry. The state has 14 sugar mills in the co-operative sector and 7 mills in the private sector. The area under sugarcane cultivation has fallen due to the difficulties encountered by the farmers in marketing their produce on time and the faulty cane price payments during the 1996-97 crushing season.
