what is the ideal location for sugar mills? why is this industry ideally situated to cooperative sector?
Answers
The sugar industry is periodically in nature and so ideally accommodated to the cooperative sector. For the whole year, the producers are associated in producing sugarcane as it is a seasonal crop. When the crop is harvested, then farmers pool collectively their resources, set up factories within the sugar cane manufacturing regions and produce sugar. The periodical nature of the sugar industry is contended by establishing up cooperative where farmers participate the profit and losses.
"The ideal location of sugar mills is in the close to the areas where sugarcanes are produced or near by the sugarcane farms.
In India Maharasthra, Karnataka, Uttar Pradesh, Tamil Nadu, Andhra Pradesh, Gujarat, Punjab, Haryana and etc are the sugarcane produced states. Maharashtra is the largest sugarcane producer in the India. Triveni is the biggest sugar mill with its seven other sugar mill chains across India.
As the sugarcane is a seasonal crop, the farmers remain engaged whole year in the production and when the crop reaped, ten or more farmers come together with their resources to setup a mill near by the sugarcane producing area, where they work cooperatively. "
