Thousands of farmers in the country grow sugarcane. Some farmers grow sugar cane for some time, while some farmers only grow sugar cane. Today we will talk about farmers who have only made profits by growing sugarcane for many years.

According to reports, a sugar factory was set up in Kothur village in the same district a few years ago. Since its inception, farmers in the region have shown great interest in sugarcane cultivation. A few years later, the Coser Sugar Factory closed. Subsequently, farmers found alternative plans and started transporting harvested sugarcane to Karnataka.
According to Local 18, thousands of acres of land in the region are dedicated to sugarcane cultivation. Farmers mentioned that they have been growing the same crops for the past 50 years. They say they are satisfied with their profits and are not considering switching to any other crop. A farmer said, “We have been doing the same work for the past 50 years. As of today, we earn about Rs 60,000 per acre. For such high returns, we have never shown interest in other crops.
The farmer further mentioned that when sugarcane prices were as low as Rs 200 per ton, they continued to grow the same crop on their land. Through interviews, farmers made a demand of the government. “We wish to request the government to take appropriate steps to set up a sugar factory in our area,” they said.
