The inability to diversify, the competition with sugar mills over cane prices, and the taxation policy of the state government has forced more than 100 khandsari units to shut down in Uttar Pradesh over the last four years
   As sugar cane is cultivated all over India, there is immense scope for the development of the khandsari industry
   The khandsari industry under Khadi and Village Industries Commission helps ensure full utilization of sugarcane.Our khandsari has to compete with sugar
   If we buy sugarcane at the rate paid by mills, we will end up losing as the price of khandsari is lower than sugar by about Rs 100 a quintal
   Moreover, this year even the sugar price is low and khandsari will sell at a lower price
