Fair and remunerative price (FRP)?
· Price of sugarcane is fixed by the centre/State, while the price of sugar is market determined. · Fair and remunerative price (FRP) is the minimum price at which rate sugarcane is to be purchased by sugar mills from farmers. · The FRP is fixed by Union government on the basis of recommendations of Commission for Agricultural Costs and Prices (CACP). · Recommended FRP is arrived at by taking into account various factors (cost of production, demand-supply situation, domestic & international prices, inter-crop price parity etc. · FRP assures margins to farmers, irrespective of whether sugar mills generate a profit or not. · Besides FRP, some states such as Punjab, Haryana, Uttarakhand, UP and TN announce a State Advised Price (SAP), which is generally higher than the FRP. |
