Addressing a press conference here on Monday, Rajshree Pathy, President, South Indian Sugar Mills Association – Tamil Nadu, said the Centre’s policy of micromanaging the sugar market to control prices while hiking sugarcane price every season has affected the ability of the sugar mills to pay the farmers.
