Question

While discussing the main problems that have been faced by cultivation of sugar cane, also discuss its present status.

Answer 1

"The main problems that the sugarcane farmers face are the scarcity of irrigation water, high cost of inputs, lack of technology, climatic changes, lack of improved varieties, and diseases affecting the sugarcane. There is also labour shortage and so, high wage rate.

The Government should take necessary steps to resolve their problems. They should allocate enough funds for the irrigational purposes. They should ensure that the farmers are getting essential agricultural inputs on subsidized rates at right time."
