Sivakasi Pongal 2017 - The unsold sugarcanes

Traders from nearby villages of Sivakasi and roadside vendors in the town brought loads of sugarcane to the key junctions of Sivakasi right from 5th January 2017 all the way till and eve of Pongal Festival. At Pongal time, one piece of sugarcane sold for Rs.35-40 and Rs.350-500 for one bundle with 15 sugarcanes. The price of sugarcane was soaring and it was out of reach for the common man in Sivakasi town. As a result the sale of sugarcane in Sivakasi, fell down badly. Sellers are ready to sell at a throwaway rate of Rs.20 per sugarcane and Rs.200 for one bundle, but no one shows interest in buying the canes, he added.
