  "account": "Farmers in Sangareddy district have called on industries to purchase sugarcane at a minimum of ₹5,000 per tonne, citing the impact of El Nino weather patterns on yield and rising cultivation expenses. Drawing comparisons to prices in neighboring Maharashtra, the farmers requested the industries to factor in costs related to fertilizers, labor, diesel, and other expenses while determining the appropriate price. During a meeting on November 10, 2026, at the Collectorate in Sangareddy, Additional Collector T.L. Sangeetha convened with factory representatives, farmer organizations, and others to discuss various aspects of sugarcane cultivation and procurement. She advised participants to prioritize farmers' welfare and industrial development when making their decision within the next two to three days.",
