Mysore/Mysuru: Urging for State Advisory Price (SAP) for sugarcane, farmers will be staging a protest in front of the Office of the Deputy Commissioner (DC) here at 11 am tomorrow. Similar protests will be held across the State on Tuesday (July 5).
Disclosing this at a press meet in Jaladarshini Guest House on Hunsur Road here yesterday, Sugarcane Growers’ Association State President Kurubur Shanthakumar said that the cost of manures, fertilisers, pesticides and labour charges have increased. “In addition to this, farmers have to bear the cost of transportation of sugarcane to factories which in turn has increased the cost of the cultivation of sugarcane.”
