Why do you feel that there are plans to shift sugar mills to South India?

Answer:
Reasons to shift sugar mills:

  • Sugarcane produced in these states have higher sugar content.
  • The cooler climate also ensures a longer crushing season.
  • The cooperatives are more successful in these states.
  • If sugarcane is transported from South to North India, due to delays in trains, sugarcane loses its sugar content as it is a perishable good.
