Speaking at a sugar meet held at the Vasantdada Sugar Institute, (VSI) at Manjari, Pune on Monday, Fadnavis said that this government has been taking maximum efforts in terms of giving financial packages for the sugar sector, addressing taxation issues, standing behind the industry on policy issues. “There should be no doubt in anyone’s mind that this government is firmly behind the sugar industry. Uttar Pradesh may become the leading producer this season but in terms of Fair and Remunerative Price ( FRP) Payments, Maharashtra has been in a leading position having made 98% cane payments to farmers while mills in UP have made 60% payments,” he said.
