An attempt has been made in this book to analyse and assess the policy, procedure and operation of pricing the sugarcane in Maharashtra. Sugar and sugarcane commodities are controlled by the Central Government policies which have great impact on the policies and procedures formulated by the State Government in this regard. The theoretical basis and background of fixing the cane prices have been studied. Procedures for pricing cane in Indian States and foreign countries are examined with a view to vouch for the system. Other related issues like cost of cultivation of sugarcane, terms of trade, economics of sugar recovery, consequences and implications of delicensing and decontrolling are also examined with a view to understand the forward and backward linkages of sugar industry.
