Wave Sugar Industries’ Dhanora sugar mill in Amroha has cleared 100% of the sugarcane payments for the current crushing season, providing major relief to local sugarcane farmers. The mill has transferred a total of ₹474.66 crore directly into the bank accounts of farmers against the sugarcane purchased during the season.
According to Jagtveer Singh, General Manager (Cane) of the mill, the management has made full payment for 120.84 lakh quintals of sugarcane purchased up to March 26. The entire sugarcane value, amounting to ₹474.66 crore, has been deposited directly into farmers’ bank accounts.
The timely clearance of sugarcane dues has been welcomed by farmer organisations and leaders in the region. Prominent farmer representatives, including Danveer Singh, State Vice President of Bharatiya Kisan Union (Tikait); Sumit Nagar of BKU (Lokhit); Bunty Singh Amhera of BKU (Lokshakti); Naresh Kumar and Mohit Sidhu of BKU (Asli); and BKU block president Subhash Cheema, along with Deshraj Singh, Gurmeet Singh Chanchu, Saurabh Malik, Deshraj Palanpur, Jagdish Yadav and Chaudhary Shabban, expressed satisfaction over the payment.
Farmer leaders said that the timely 100% payment of sugarcane dues reflects the efforts of farmers and their collective strength. The payment will help farmers prepare for the next crop cycle, purchase fertilisers and seeds, and meet household and other essential expenses. The move by Wave Sugar Industries has been appreciated by sugarcane farmers across the Dhanora region.
