## ANSWER

MINISTER OF STATE FOR AGRICULTURE AND FARMERS WELFARE कृ ͪष एवं ͩकसान कãयाण राÏय मंğी (SHRI RAMNATH THAKUR)

- (a): The details  of  the  district-wise  yield  of  sugarcane  in  Uttar  Pradesh  from  2012-13  to 2023-24 are given at the Annexure I.
- (b): As per the information received from the State Government (Sugar Industry and Cane Development Department), at present, there are a total of 47.34 lakh sugarcane-supplying farmers  in  the  State  of  Uttar  Pradesh.  According  to  the Indian  Sugarcane  Research Institute, Lucknow, their net income from sugarcane cultivation is ₹53,530 per hectare on Cost C2 (Actual paid out expenses + rent paid for leased-in-land + Family labour + Imputed

O.I.H.

rent and interest on own land + Fixed Assets) basis and ₹1,55,949 per hectare on Cost A1 (Actual paid out expenses) basis.

- (c): Sugarcane price payments for the 2020-21, 2021-22, and 2022-23 crushing seasons have  already  been  made  by  the  sugar  mills  in  the  state.  The  details  of  the  outstanding sugarcane price payments for 2023-24 and 2024-25 crushing seasons, listed sugarmill-wise and district-wise, are given at Annexure II .
- (d): During  the  last  5  years,  only  2  sugar  mills,  namely,  Kaptanganj(Kushinagar)  and Satha(Aligarh)  remained  closed  in  the  State  of  Uttar  Pradesh  due  to  non-availability  of sugarcane.
- (e): In  the  current  crushing  season  only  6372  hectares  have  been  affected  by  red  rot disease and 71,285 hectares have been affected by floods and waterlogging.
- (f): To protect from the red rot disease susceptible sugarcane variety Co.0238, preventive measures like uprooting and destroying the plants affected by red rot and treating the soil of the affected area with a solution of chemicals like fungicide Hexastop etc., use of healthy seeds,  seed  treatment  and  adopting  crop  rotation  have  been  implemented.  For  effective control  and  prevention  of  diseases,  crop  inspection  and  necessary  advisory  have  been issued from time to time by a team of scientists.

In addition, for the phased replacement of the sugarcane variety Co.0238, the varieties developed by the U.P. Sugarcane Research Council, Shahjahanpur; the Indian Institute of Sugarcane  Research,  Lucknow;  and  the  Sugarcane  Breeding  Institute,  Karnal-  namely CoSha 13235, CoSha 17231, CoSha 18231, CoLk 14201, CoLk 16202, CoLk 15466, Co 15023,  Co  0118,  CoSha  19231,  and  CoSe  17451-  are  being  promoted  to  replace  and balance the disease-susceptible variety. During the past four years, 12.38 lakh hectares of the affected variety Co.0238 have already been substituted with other varieties.

Further, to address the problem of floods and waterlogging, high-level weekly reviews were conducted at the level of the Additional Chief Secretary, and teams comprising fieldlevel officers, scientists, and sugar mill staff were constituted to inspect the affected areas and  issue  advisories.  Using  391  drones,  pesticide  spraying  was  carried  out  over  38,359 hectares of sugarcane area in the affected regions.
