Why in News?

According to the information received from the media on 15 May 2023, the Sugarcane and Sugar Commissioner of Uttar Pradesh, Sanjay R. Bhoosreddy, has released the Satta & supply policy of sugarcane for the crushing season 2023-24.

Key Points:

  • On the basis of the sugarcane supply policy, detailed instructions have been given to the sugar mills for sugarcane supply, including the issue of sugarcane slips to the sugarcane farmers of the state.
  • Sanjay Bhoosreddy said that in this year's supply policy, the limit of sugarcane betting per farmer has been increased from a maximum of 850 quintals to 900 quintals for marginal farmers (up to 1 hectare), from 1,700 quintals to 1,800 quintals for small farmers (up to 2 hectares) and For the general farmer (up to 5 hectares), it has been increased from 4,250 quintals to 4,500 quintals.
  • In case of an increase in yield, the maximum limit of Satta has been increased from 1,350 quintals to 1,400 quintals, from 2,700 quintals to 2,800 quintals and from 6,750 quintals to 7,000 quintals respectively for marginal, small and general farmers.
  • Giving great relief to the small farmers in the state, instead of 60 quintals, sugarcane farmers holding up to 72 quintals have been included in the category of small farmers. With this, these satta holders will be able to get the facility of sugarcane supply within 45 days.
  • In this year's satta supply, transfer of basic quota in cases of land purchase & sale, priority in satta supply to farmers who irrigate through drip method, priority in supply of sugarcane to soldiers, paramilitary forces, ex-servicemen & freedom fighters and their legal heirs, the facility of giving free application for an increase in yield to the best sugarcane farmers and other provisions related to the continuation of the bet are also important if the speculator member farmer dies during the crushing season.
  • In order to ensure maximum sugarcane supply to the supplier farmers, out of the average sugarcane supply of the last two years, three years and five years, instructions have been given to consider the maximum average sugarcane supply as a basic quota for the crushing season 2023-24. This will not only increase the sugarcane supply to the farmers but sugar mills will also be able to get more sugarcane.
  • Apart from this, the farmers who have become new members in the crushing season 2022-23 and have supplied sugarcane only for one year, their one year's sugarcane supply will be considered as a basic quota. The final calendar will be made available online on Smart Sugarcane Farmers (ERP) website caneup.in and mobile app E-Ganna. An inquiry centre will be set up for the farmers by installing an additional terminal.
  • 20 percent priority will be given to sugarcane supply to soldiers, paramilitary forces, ex-servicemen and freedom fighters & their legal heirs in the state on the production of certificates issued by the competent authorities.
  • In this year's supply policy, if a double bond (double Satta) of a sugarcane supply farmer comes to light in the middle of the crushing season, then keeping such a case in the meeting of the Cane Implementation Committee, action will be taken to ban the sugarcane supply/sugarcane price payment of the concerned farmer.
  • With this system, irregular supply by the sugarcane mafias will not be possible.
  • Only the members of the sugarcane societies formed till 30 September 2023, will get the facility of sugarcane supply in the coming session itself. Farmer-wise and village-wise survey satta lists will be displayed from 20 July to 30 August 2023.
