With the state government refusing to hike the state advisory price (SAP) of sugarcane, farmers who have cultivated the crop over 97,000 hectares in the state have no option but to dump it at the nearest mill. While farmers have been demanding increase in SAP from Rs 300 per quintal to Rs 350 per 100 kilogram, mill owners say any hike in price will make their business unviable. The neighbouring Haryana has fixed the SAP at Rs 330 per quintal for this season.
