Sugarcane farmers on protest path again to seek fair share in sugar and ethanol revenues
Sugarcane growers have launched the “Hubballi Chalo” foot‑march, reviving their demand for a larger portion of profits from sugar and ethanol production. The farmers say past agreements have left them under‑compensated and cite long‑standing grievances over pricing, subsidies and market access. The march aims to pressure state authorities in the region to negotiate a fair revenue share.
