An Unprecedented ReachĪt a time when agricultural, food, and environmental challenges are mounting and needs are growing, CES is more relevant than ever. With an organization that has been operating for over a century, CES is well positioned to efficiently get needed tools and knowledge into the hands of the people who need them. Relying on a Proven SystemĬES is a nationwide, non-credit educational network that addresses public needs by providing non-formal higher education and learning activities to farmers, ranchers, communities, youth, and families throughout the nation.
The agency supports both the universities and local CES offices to bring science directly to the regional and county level. As the federal partner, NIFA develops methods to address national priorities, funds and awards grants, and provides program leadership. Their realisations could be even more – upwards of Rs 45/kg – from export of sugar, which is now banned.CES is operated through the nation’s Land-Grant University System in partnership with the federal and state and local governments. UP mills are at present realising an average Rs 36/kg, compared to Rs 32 levels three years ago. This, even as the Centre, last week, increased its own basic “fair and remunerative price” of cane from Rs 305 to Rs 315 per cent quintal for the new SY.Ī favourable factor here is sugar prices. Low cane payment arrears and an SAP hike of Rs 20-25/quintal might help achieve that objective. The Adityanath government seems to have kept the powder dry for that before the 2024 national elections it wouldn’t want the Opposition to make ganna (sugarcane) a major poll issue. That said, there is likelihood of – and perhaps scope for – a significant raise in cane prices payable by mills in the ensuing 2023-24 SY. More money has, thus, flowed to farmers from higher yields and quantity of cane supplied than from SAP increases, which have been limited during the last six years. These have been enabled by the average cane yields of farmers in UP going up from around 72 tonnes to 82 tonnes per hectare between 2016-23.
One reason for the higher payments is the larger quantities of cane crushed by mills during the last six years, relative to the earlier six years (see Table 1).
