Farmers submit wish list for state budget

The Federation of Farmers Association and Karnataka Sugarcane Cultivators Association have announced a slew of demands by way of a wish list for inclusion in the State budget for the year 2024-25.

This followed a prolonged deliberation by the farmers in the city on Sunday. Kurubur Shanthakumar, president of the sugarcane cultivators association told mediapersons that the State government should also announce a loan waiver to farmers and provide relief to them.

He also took exception to the sugar mills deducting the harvesting charges from the amount due to the farmers and said that this should be reimbursed back to the farmers.
