What happened
Following meetings between farmers from Karnataka and Maharashtra and Union Ministers in New Delhi, the Centre established a committee. Chaired by Prof Ramesh Chand, the committee will examine issues raised by sugarcane farmers, including demands for increased remunerative returns and the revision of the ex-mill Minimum Selling Price (MSP) of sugar. The review will also look at sugar recovery mechanisms, weighment practices, and deductions from mechanically harvested sugarcane.
