Keep sugarcane out of crop insurance: Centre to UP
The Centre on Thursday asked the Uttar Pradesh government to exclude sugarcane from the Pradhan Mantri Fasal Bima Yojana (PMFBY), as it is not a risky crop. Earlier on June 10, the state government had notified various crops including sugarcane under the PMFBY. Under this scheme, farmers' insurance premium has been capped at a maximum of 5% for horticultural crops.
