कृ ष एवं कसान कयाण मंी (SHRI NARENDRA SINGH TOMAR)

- (a) & (b): The State-wise details of area, production and yield of sugarcane during 201415 to 2019-20 (as per Second Advance Estimate) are placed at Annexure - I.

The  State-wise  details  of  sugar  production  and  sugar  recovery  rate  from  sugar season 2014-15 to 2019-20 are placed at Annexure - II and Annexure - III, respectively.

- (c)&(d): Department  of Food  and  Public Distribution (DFPD)  under  Ministry of Consumer  Affairs,  Food  and  Public  Distribution  is  the  nodal  department  under  Sugar (Control) Order and Sugarcane (Control) Order, 1966 for regulating the sugar mills. As per DFPD, the details regarding quantity of by-products i.e. molasses, bagasse and presscake generated in production of sugar and the revenue realized on account of these by-products are not maintained. However, it is estimated that the molasses, bagasse and presscake are generated at the rate of about 4.5%, 30% and 3.5%, respectively on sugarcane crushed by sugar mills during each of the sugar season depending on the quality of sugarcane available for  crushing  by  the  sugar  mills  in  each  state.  Further,  as  per  Dr.  Rangarajan  Committee report, the revenue realization on account of all three by-products contributes to about 5% of the total revenue of individual sugar mills.
