The National Federation of Cooperative Sugar Factories Ltd has slammed the government efforts to rein in retail prices by imposing stockholding limits. Sugar industry is the only industry where stock limits are imposed on producers. These controls hurt the health and all-round development of the industry. There was no uniform policy on cane price as, unlike other states, the fair and remunerative price in Gujarat is paid in three installments, while Uttar Pradesh has its own mechanism of state advised price.
