Sugarcane growers staged road blockades at various places in Dharwad, Gadag and Haveri on Tuesday (October 13), demanding a higher price for sugarcane and a revision of the minimum selling price (MSP) of sugar.

The protests followed talks between farmers’ representatives and Union Ministers in New Delhi on Monday (October 12) that failed to yield an immediate solution. The growers are seeking a remunerative price for sugarcane that covers production costs, an increase in the MSP of sugar and other measures to protect their interests.
