The Haryana government has demonstrated its strong commitment to agriculture by approving a substantial hike in the minimum purchase price for sugarcane. This policy change guarantees that Haryana's farmers will receive the highest, most competitive rates for their crop nationally. Officials are promoting this as a clear dedication to long-term grower prosperity and genuine progress in field development (Khet Vikas).
Chief Minister Nayab Singh Saini confirmed the price revision, framing the announcement as a critical financial boost for the state's cultivators right before Diwali. The new pricing structure involves a steady ₹15 per quintal increase across the board:
- Early Varieties: The rate climbs from ₹400 to a new maximum of ₹415 per quintal.
- Late Varieties: The price is now set at ₹408 per quintal, up from the previous ₹393.
The state apparatus emphasized the vital importance of this action, formally labeling it a tangible agricultural solution (Krishi Samadhan). It's specifically aimed at easing the financial pressures on farmers, respecting their strenuous work, and securing their economic stability. CM Saini reaffirmed his administration's chief focus on farmer welfare, maintaining that the elevated support price will bring significant dynamism and momentum to Haryana's agricultural economy, with advantages that extend beyond the individual farm.
By setting the nation's highest support price for sugarcane, the government expects this landmark decision to act as a policy benchmark nationwide, ensuring a financially "sweeter" and more joyful festive season for every sugarcane producer.
