Sugarcane Production - Bihar

Recently, i have talked to one of my friend and colleague who is from Bihar. I enquired her about why the sugarcane production became less in Bihar? Then i got some interesting facts, she said that "In bihar, from 1980's when the adverse law and order situation started, from that time onwards, many sugarcane mills have started closing down. Most of sugarcane mills have shut down due losses. Due to shut down of many mills except few Government mills many people stopped the sugarcane production because the demand for sugarcane have been drastically reduced. This was the major reason why sugarcane production in bihar have been reduced." So, now we have got some idea why total production of sugarcane was 20 percent before independence and have now drastically fallen to only mere 3 percent in Bihar.
