Sugarcane farmers in Sangareddy district have urged industries to buy the farm produce at least at ₹5,000 per tonne, considering drop in the yield due to El Nino weather phenomena and increasing cultivation costs.

to sugarcane cultivation and procurement were discussed at a meeting on the prices held by Sangareddy Additional Collector T.L. Sangeetha with representatives of factories, farmers organisations and others, at the
Collectorate on Tuesday (November 10, 2026). The Additional Collector suggested the representatives to consider the welfare of farmers and development of industries in taking the decision in two to three days.
