Today only four-five mills are running and that too with the encouragement of the government. Farmers are confident that they will get cane price payments on time.
The Chief Minister said that due to the efforts of the government, Uttar Pradesh is number one in the country in terms of sugarcane production, sugar production, ethanol production and sugarcane price payment. BJP has revived this industry of UP.

He said that the fate of 'annadata' farmers would change when the country also became energy givers. Only farmers will fulfil the dream of making this country an economic superpower of the world.
Gadkari said, "CM Yogi is continuously and seriously working for the state's development. To strengthen the economic condition of the country, there is a need to lay more emphasis on ethanol production." (ANI)
