Cabinet gives green signal to new procurement policy; hikes ethanol prices

12 Sep 2018 Evaluate

In a major relief to farmers, the Union Cabinet has given green signal to the new procurement policy for crops. The new policy will ensure that the farmers get the minimum support price (MSP) at a time when the market prices fall below the benchmark prices set by the government.

The Cabinet increased the procurement price of ethanol produced from B-heavy molasses (also called as intermediary molasses) to Rs 59 a litre from the current Rs 47.13 a litre and that produced from C-heavy molasses to Rs 53 a litre from the existing Rs 43.46 a litre, an increase of 25%. This move is expected to help the sugar mills divert their production to the manufacturing of ethanol from sugar. The sugar industry has witnessed a crash in sugar price due to over-production recently.

The new mechanism is expected to be crop specific. This will mark a significant departure from the current mechanism, under which the crops are purchased by the government and the MSP price is transferred to farmers' account through Direct Benefit Transfer. The new mechanism is likely to cost the exchequer nearly Rs 40,000 crore and come into effect for the upcoming harvest of the Kharif season.
