GROWING TREND OF OPENING NEW SUGAR MILLS IN SOUTHERN STATES

 UPSC GS MAINS IMPORTANT QUESTIONS

Do you agree that there is a growing trend of opening new sugar mills in the Southern States of India? Discuss with justification.


Sugar mills are located near growing areas, because of the perishable nature of sugarcane and its weight losing tendency post harvesting.





The last few decades has seen growing trend of opening new sugar mills in the southern part of India because of the following reasons:

⦿ Absence of loo and frost and the moderating effect of ocean makes south Indian ideal for sugarcane growth.

⦿ The sugarcanes of these areas have a higher sucrose content which makes better quality sugar.



⦿The relatively cooler climate in southern states ensures a longer crushing season for the producers.

⦿Sugarcane industry is a seasonal industry and is generally run by cooperatives. Southern states have well developed network of co-operatives.



⦿In North India, mills have to be closed during winters because of unavailability of raw material. But in South, mills can operate throughout the year.

⦿The black lava soil of the region is very fertile and retains water that is good for growth of sugarcane plants.

⦿The location of ports also reduces the transportation cost of processed goods and facilitates exports.
