Sugarcane: fair and remunerative price (FRP), 2026-27

₹365 a quintal

The least a sugar mill must pay for cane. Some states set a higher price (SAP).

Cost to grow: the cost a quintal the support price is set against (paid-out costs plus family labour, A2+FL), from the Commission for Agricultural Costs and Prices, or worked out from the margin the government announced. Mandis this week: the middle of every mandi's modal price across India. Paddy is the common grade.
