Maharashtra's Sugarcane Season Faces Challenges Due to Heavy Rains

The government in Maharashtra is starting the sugarcane crushing season in November.

However, heavy rain might cause a drop in the amount of sugar they can get from the sugarcane.

This could hurt farmers and sugar mills because they'll make less money.

The government is also asking sugar mills to pay extra money to help the Chief Minister's fund and flood-affected farmers.

But, the sugar mills are worried because they already owe farmers money and the rain has damaged the crops.

They think the extra money will make things even harder for both the farmers and the mills.
