Tamil Nadu- Ramanathapuram Collector Promises ₹3 Lakh Loans to Sugarcane Farmers Through Cooperatives
Ramanathapuram Collector B. Vishnu Chandran has assured sugarcane growers of support, pledging to facilitate loans of up to ₹3 lakh through Cooperative Societies to aid farmers.
During a recent grievance redressal meeting for sugarcane farmers, Ramanathapuram Collector B. Vishnu Chandran addressed the concerns raised by farmers who were seeking loans of up to ₹3 lakh from cooperative societies, a practice already in place in neighboring districts.
Scheduled for September 22, 2023, at 10:30 AM, the farmer's grievance meeting at the Collectorate will provide a platform for farmers and their association representatives to voice their agriculture-related queries and issues.
Historically, sugarcane farmers in Paramakudi and Kamudi taluks cultivated their crops across 2,500 acres of land. However, they faced challenges in financing their sugarcane cultivation. The farmers believed that direct financial support from cooperative societies would greatly alleviate their financial burdens.
Another pressing concern raised by the farmers was the substantial damage caused to their crops by deer and boars. They appealed to the district administration to take measures to prevent such attacks.
Mr. Vishnu Chandran further emphasized his commitment to ensuring prompt payment to farmers by Sakthi Sugars for the cane they supply.

Under the scheme, Sakthi Sugars is providing electric fencing services at a reduced rate, with the sugar factory contributing ₹10,000 towards the total cost of ₹15,000 for installing the fence on a three-acre farm, leaving farmers with only ₹5,000 to cover.
