Kaithal Sugarcane Sugar Mill Cooperative

Kaithal district lies in the Ghaggar-Yamuna doab where canal-irrigated soils support sugarcane cultivation that supplies the Kaithal cooperative sugar mill processing autumn-planted cane varieties into white sugar and khandsari. Kaithal farmers deliver cane from October to March, and the mill's crushing season employs thousands of workers in cane-cutting, transport, and factory operations. The sugar mill cooperative distributes profits to farmer-members and provides subsidised inputs, creating an agro-industrial institution that stabilises farmer income through price floors and guaranteed procurement in Kaithal's cane belt.
