Ya'll Nibbiars The Goverment has reduced the FRP and transportation cost to the lowest and in coming year would become almost nill. And Despite that the sugarcane still pays better than the other crops.
Are you talking about percentage increase in FRP? Because any government reducing FRP will be slaughtered electorally

Give the numbers, cat.
Ya'll Nibbiars The Suagr factories are paying 85 rupees per litres to the Diesel and where else the diesel is now around 93 rupees at the pump. Last year it was 60 rupees per litre for 80 rupees per litre on average.

And we import oilseeds and pulses and the MSP trend for them has been abysmal (not to mention the fact that actual procurement of these crops doesn't happen at a lot of APMCs anyway)
MSP trend for pulses have been extraordinary. Its due to the hike in MSP of pulses every year, that pulses production has gone up multifold. Its true that we still import pulses but that is due to seasonal crop damage and ever increasing demand. But still, MSP trend for pulses has been very effective for generating income of farmers. Actual procurement of pulses dows happen a lot through state APMCs and farmers have benefited alot. The same success needs to be replicated in oilseeds now.

Ya'll Nibbiars our subsidies are nothing compared to the western nations. And we have are gradually reducing its per year.

Do you think it is advisable to keep pandering to sugar lobby in Maharashtra considering the water problems in many parts of the state? Ethanol blending is only giving it a fillip.
It is also the case that India ethanol story is linked to global crude oil prices, longer the period crude oil prices stay high the longer the ethanol story in india will run. if and when cheap oil comes back in global market, there is a possibility that the ethanol story will go silent within India.

Ya'll Nibbiars that will depend on the production cost of ethanol in India. Can't take the world wise price. Does anyone has the charts for the cost of domestic ethanol pricing. And if I remeber properly the Brazilian ethanol production remained stable despite the fall in the world wide fuel costs.

India needs to incentivize farmers in water stressed states to move from rice and sugarcane to corn. Corn takes much less water and is a good feed for ethanol.

will have to take two three companies who do ethanol production and check their annual reports, you may do the honours.

Ya'll Nibbiars not states but locations.

As long as the corn is organic yes. GMO corn is a health problem with it primarily being used for making fructose syrup.

Ya'll Nibbiars from the firms perspective good. From the National perspective can't say unless they bring the technology or the manufacturing here.

The Tata venturing outside of India www good as they brought the International technology here.
