ISMA urges govt to increase MSP to Rs 35-36 per kg

Image
Indian Sugar Mills Association (ISMA) has sent a letter to the government asking for the minimum selling price (MSP) to be raised to 35-36 rupees ($0.49-$0.51) a kilogram at factory gates from 29 rupees currently. Sugar stockpiles in India, which is set to become the world’s biggest producer, almost doubled to 15.4 million tons as of Dec. 31 from a year earlier following bumper output, according to ISMA data. Higher local prices will prompt millers to sell more in the domestic market and potentially reduce exports, supporting global prices. The mills are also under pressure as cane growers seeking one-time payments. Indian mills owed about 190 billion rupees to farmers as of Dec. 31.

The West Bengal government is set to issue an order restricting cold storages in the State from opening before March 1 for loading potatoes.

West Bengal is the second largest potato-growing State, with an average annual production of around 100-110 lakh tonnes. Early loading leads to immature potatoes finding their way into cold storages, said a top official of Department of Agricultural Marketing in West Bengal, the Hindu Business Line reported. Loading of immature potatoes leads to deterioration in quality, thereby affecting the marketability of the produce, the official said.
