<h1>Haryana sugarcane farmers seek SAP of Rs 500 as rising input costs and falling production undermine farm viability.</h1> Haryana sugarcane farming has become unprofitable as diesel, land lease, labour, irrigation, machinery and fertiliser costs rose sharply while returns remained inadequate; production and area under cultivation fell, threatening mill viability. The state's recent Rs 12 SAP increase is deemed insufficient and a memorandum was submitted to the governor via the deputy commissioner seeking an increase of the state advised price to Rs 500 per quintal to restore farm viability.
