CO-OPERATIVE SUGAR FACTORIES IN MAHARASHTRA:
Now, it has been widely recognized that co-operative sugar factories in M.S. have made
significant contributions to the regional economic development of the areas around
them .They have initiated several growth oriented welfare schemes, which has benefited
not only the members but the region also. A sugar factory, helps in promoting various
economic activities in the rural areas apart from generating direct and indirect
employment. It also enhances transport and communication links with urban centres.
provide medical and educational help to rural people in the area of operation of co-op
sugar factory. It also helps in generating various ancillary activities for the local farming
population.
In M.S., a small amount from the earnings of the sugar-grower members is kept side
every year for taking up ancillary activities such as modern poultry, irrigation, credit
banks etc. Also, many sugar co-op in M.S., opened school/colleges in their areas for
providing technical higher education. Many co-op sugar factories have hospitals with
modern techniques and equipments and provide medical facilities to the adjoining
villages. Some of them has also undertaken, several lift irrigation schemes for the
benefit of farmers. In M.S., Pravara,Warna,Akaluj,Rethare, Sangli and Sukarale have
established their own educational centres.
The sugar industry has immense potentiality for diversification by using its by- products.
Shri Warna co-op sugar factory of Warnanagar (M.S.) have done well. This factory has
established not only distillery and paper plants but also promoted poultry and dairy.
They have established Warna Co-op Bank,Warna Bhagini Mandal for women, fruits and
vegetables processing units, Talim mandal for youth etc.
PROBLEMS OF SUGAR CO-OPERATIVES:
2. Unhappy Consumers
3.Audit problems
10. De-zoning
CO-OPERATIVE RICE MILLS:
Peddy is the agricultural produce coming out of the farm. It cannot be consumed as it is.
It is required to be husked and converted in to rice for bringing it in to consumable
condition.Therefore rice-mills are found in the paddy growing area.
The objectives are as follows:
1.To husk the paddy of members and non-members.
4.Delay in getting milling equipments and transportation difficulties to states like Bihar,
Assam etc.
5.Poor grading and lack of adequate quality control and unhealthy competition from the
poor traders.
6. Untrained manager and poor management.
PADDY PROCESSING IN INDIA (THE TECHNICAL BACKGROUND):
It is well known that paddy milling is one of the largest industries of India. Between 50
and 60 million tonnes of paddy is processed annually by one method or the other. Paddy
consists of 20% husk, 6% bran and 72% of endosperm. The processing of paddy
Involves drying, cleaning, parboiling in certain areas), husking, polishing, separating and
grading.
Paddy is normally harvested at 16 to 18% moisture and reduce to 14% for safe keeping
and milling. In India the paddy is mostly sun dried. Mechanical drying came to be
introduced only in 1965 when the first six modern units were setup in co-op sector. The
sun drying of paddy is cheap and quick, but the loses in open yard drying from birds and
rodents, sub checking etc. are sizeable. It has been estimated that 15% of the total paddy
milled is lost in this way. Mechanical drying helps to reduce the moisture content to the
desired level. This process iscostly(About Rs. 1.2 per quintal) . However it reduces the
field losses and increases the quantity harvested up to 12%.It also facilitates drying in
wet weather. But adoption of this process by both farmers and millers in this country has
been slow due to lack of knowledge and familiarity with the equipment, as also due to
relatively high cost.
About 50% of the Indian paddy is parboiled . It reduces breakage in milling, improves
shortage life and helps to preserve the vitamins and protein contents of the grain.
The most common method of processing paddy however today is by hand pounding.
About 44% of India’s paddy is processed bi this method as it has the lowest cost when
Family labour is employed and can be done in interior unelectrified areas. But when hired
Labour is used, it costs more.
Although The cost of parboiling and mechanical drying is estimated at Rs.2 to 2.5
per quintal. The output is often more than offsets parboiling costs,
therefore it can be sold at cheaper Rate.
The estimated cost of processing a ton of paddy by hand pounding is Rs.40 to 50 rice
mills. The husk and bran are removed in one operation and the rice can be polished by
second or third pass through the machine. The hullers were introduced around1920 and
They number about 50000.Their avg. milling capacity is 2 tonnes per 8hour a day. They
mill appox. 30% of paddy in India. Their main advantage is low cost of equipment about
7000/- Rs and therefore they continue to service for a long time to come.
With technological developments, more sheller type and modern rice mills are being set-
up to get a higher rice out-put, high by-product recovery at milling costs. Sheller mills are
quite popular in India and are about 8000 in number. They mill about 25% of the paddy
crop.They Were first designed 20 to 30 years back and therefore need to be modernized
for gettinghigher output to rice, bran and germ for getting oil extracted from these
by-product.
The Rubber roller-shellers are the latest innovation in rice milling. They minimizes
grain breakage. The output increased from 65% to 72% and the broken grain
percentage is reduced. They were adopted in India in 1965.The present
modernized unit incorporates .
Due to depressed conditions noticed in the handloom sector, rendering a large section of
population economically weak, the New Economic program launched in 1975 and the need
for central plan call for vigorous efforts for the reorganization and revitalization of handloom
industry on sound lines. Ad-hoc policy making and defective implementation of policies
have been mainly responsible for democracy and depression of the important segment of
decentralized textile sector.
In 1974 there were around 36 lakh handlooms in the country and 38 lakhs during 1976.As
traditional weavers are located in different parts of the country, it is difficult to place the figu
of the Handlooms at an exact level. Therefore, suggestions have been made from time to
To conduct census of handlooms, so that policies pertaining to planning, development,
assistance etc. can be formulated clearly and enforced properly to achieve the expected re
About 53% of co-operative sectors are there by1983.Yet qualitatively, the majority of
co-operatives have remained non-viable. The basic reason for weakness of handloom
units isLack of rationalized institutional structure. The inability to cover the total requiremen
of Handloom weaver, particularly those pertaining to steady supply of raw materials at
reasonable cost, finance and marketing has contributed to their decline.
An integrated co-operative structure, covering these requirements right from the stage of
raw material to the finished product can go long way in providing stability to the handloom
textile industry.
CO-OPERATIVE GINNING AND PRESSING FACTORIES:
Cotton can be pressed in to bales and can be packed to keep it clean by taking out the
cotton seeds. With the reduction in volume, transport cost will be reduced and the cotton
Bales will be demanded as raw material from co-operative spinning mill.
The cotton seeds are supplied to the oil mill which bring down the price of cotton. In
M.S. there is cotton procurement scheme and the cotton growers have to give their
Cotton to the centres.
If the cotton growers come together and form a ginning and pressing factory and if this
Factory enters in to the agreement with the co-operative spinning mills for the supply of
Cotton then in that case every one will benefit.
The agriculturist will get good payment for their cotton, the ginning and pressing factory
Will get sufficient business and the co-operative spinning mill can get the raw material
Easily. By creating an agreement with the weavers co-operatives societies and
Power loom societies, cotton thread can be supplied by the spinning mill.
NCDC helps the installation of co-operative ginning and pressing factory.
It is raw sugar and has little demand. This industry is not seen in the co-operative sector.
This industry is sponsored by Khadi Gramudyog Mandal. Some private people have
Started such type of units in sugarcane areas. The Khadi Gramudyog Mandal at the
Goregaon Training Centre gives training in the production of Khandsari.
JAGGARY PRODUCTION:
Sugar factories are not allowed to prepare jaggary as ancillary, or additional activity.
Jaggary production is generally taken up individually on commercial basis and not on
Co-operative basis. The Agriculture Produce Market Committees and co-operative
Purchase and sale union do sell the jaggary prepared by private persons.
Tadgul and Nira are prepared from the palm tree. Neera is very commonly collected and
Sold. But it is an individual business. It has got the patronage of KVIC. Neera
co-operatives can be formed as poor people have demand for it.Tadgul is cheaper but
It is said to be in toxic.
