this is just part of the problem – farmers (across mills not triveni) are not replanting after uprooting as sugarcane is longer duration crop and payment from mills have been delayed a lot… Cash is very important for farmers.
Delay in payment to farmers can lead to lower acreage in UP this year. Govt tried to control prices this year – next year prices will be much higher and could lead to import of sugar. ethanol ban may continue and mills will have to use maize (at high price) instead of cane.
