ARTICLE 4 #SugarPriceHike

A special meeting of the Sugar Advisory Board was held under the co-chairmanship of Ishaq Dar (Deputy Prime Minister) and the Federal Minister for National Food Security, Rana Tanveer Hussain, to review the sugar market situation, imported sugar stocks and the closure of the S-Track portal.

The decision, taken at a Cabinet meeting chaired by Chief Minister Yogi Adityanath, is expected to benefit nearly 45 lakh sugarcane farmers across the state. The hike comes ahead of the upcoming crushing season and follows sustained demands from farmer unions for better remuneration amid rising input costs.
