How the exam will ask it
ಪ್ರಿಲಿಮ್ಸ್
- The Fair and Remunerative Price is the minimum price sugar mills must pay cane farmers, announced by the Centre on the advice of the Commission for Agricultural Costs and Prices.
- Some States announce a State Advised Price over and above the FRP; it is not the Centre's floor price.
- The minimum selling price of sugar is a separate Centre-fixed floor for sale of sugar by mills, distinct from the cane FRP.
ಮೇನ್ಸ್
GS-III (Agriculture, pricing) and Karnataka economy. Issue: cane farmers squeezed between the FRP and a stagnant sugar minimum selling price that limits mills' ability to pay. Policy: FRP set on CACP advice, with sugar MSP and ethanol blending shaping mill revenue. Way forward: link the sugar MSP to the cost of cane, expand ethanol diversion and ensure timely payment of dues.
