FAQ :
The Cabinet has approved assistance of about Rs. 3,500 crore for sugarcane farmers.
This decision will benefit approximately five crore sugarcane farmers and their dependents, as well as five lakh workers employed in sugar mills and related ancillary activities.
The assistance is being provided to address the issue of farmers not receiving their dues from sugar mill owners due to surplus sugar stock. The government is facilitating the evacuation of this surplus stock to enable payments.
The assistance will be directly credited into farmers' accounts on behalf of sugar mills against cane price dues.
The subsidy aims to cover marketing costs, including handling, upgrading, processing, and transport costs for the export of up to 60 LMT of sugar.
