Profit-Sharing Formula Introduced for Sugarcane Pricing in Belagavi
What happened
The Belagavi district administration introduced a profit-sharing formula for sugarcane pricing for the current crushing season. This agreement broke a deadlock between sugarcane farmers and factories, allowing eight of the 29 factories to begin operations under the new formula. The formula was hammered out by Satish Jarkiholi, factory representatives, and farmers leaders.

Why it matters
The introduction of this profit-sharing formula establishes a new pricing mechanism for a key agricultural commodity in the region. While the formula was accepted by most farmers, some leaders expressed displeasure, noting its dependence on the state government's efforts to revise the Minimum Selling Price of sugar. The minister clarified that issues like the Minimum Selling Price of sugar would be decided by the state government at a later date.
