(b) Both (A) and (R) are true, but (R) is not the correct explanation of (A).
Sugarcane and sugar production in the U.P. is more than in Maharashtra but productivity is less.
Uttar Pradesh, Maharashtra, and Karnataka have together produced 111 million tonnes of sugar. Hence (A) is true.
Uttar Pradesh and Maharashtra together share 66 percent of sugar production.
Maharashtra mills have maintained a recovery rate of 10 to 11.65 percent. Mills in Uttar Pradesh have managed to keep it between 9.49 and 11.48 percent.
About Cooperative Sugar mills:
The cooperative campaign for the sugar industry began in the mid-50s to late 50s in Maharashtra with the announcement of 12 places in the state where sugar factories could be established.
A central committee was created by Bombay State Cooperative Bank under the chairmanship of economist Dhananjayrao Gadgil.
Asia’s first cooperative sugar factory was established at Pravaranagar in the Ahmednagar District of the then Bombay state in 1950 by Vithalrao Vikhe Patil, & Gadgil.
Most of the sugar factories in Maharashtra are in the cooperative sector.
Hence, (R) is true but not the correct explanation of (A).
