CANE DEVELOPMENT SCHEMES
With a view to have sufficient sugarcane in the area of operation of the factory, we have implemented various cane development schemes in the area due to which the area under sugarcane is increased and now we have sufficient & quality sugarcane in our area itself. The schemes were as follow,
Supply of Quality Cane Seed –
We are supplying good quality & high sucroce content sugarcane variety seed to sugarcane cultivators/members in the area of operation on credit basis. We are arranging cane seed from sugarcane research institutes like Vasantdada Sugar Institute, Pune, Rahuri Krishi Vidyapeeth, Padegaon Sugarcane farm etc. In view of this about 90% of the area cane under good/improved variety sugarcane due to which we are able to maintain sugar recovery at high level.

We make available compost fertilizer to the sugarcane cultivators in the area of operation on credit basis so as to increase yield hector sugarcane and ensuring the availability of good quality sugarcane for crushing and maintain soil, physical and chemical characteristics
Sugar Price Incentives :-
For getting high recovery sugar in initial crushing stage , quality of sugarcane from the area we have decided to give additional cane price to those sugarcane cultivators, who have planted sugarcane as per recommendations of the factory in the month from June to Sep.
Cane Seed transport Subsidy –
To motivate the farmers to plant new improved varieties of sugarcane and tissue culture , we announced to give transport charges of foundation cane seed of Co-434 and Co-94012 variety to those who bring such cane seed from sugarcane research institute like VSIO 3102, Co-86032, co-671.
