Record 5,000 Lakh Tonnes: 2021-22 Sugarcane Season!

0
Sugarcane

According to a press statement from the Ministry of Food and Public Distribution, India produced a record amount of sugarcane during the 2021–22 season—more than 5,000 million tonnes. Sugar mills crushed over 3,574 lakh tonnes of sugarcane during the time period to create roughly 394 LMT of sugar (sucrose), of which 36 LMT was diverted to ethanol production and 359 LMT was produced by sugar mills, according to the ministry.

For the Indian sugar industry, the years 2021–22 have proven to be pivotal. During the season, complete records of sugarcane output, sugar production, sugar exports, cane purchases, cane dues paid, and ethanol production were made.

India is currently both the greatest producer and consumer of sugar in the world, as well as the second-largest sugar exporter after Brazil. Every sugar season, there is a large carry-over stock of sugar in the mills due to the output of sugar being between 320 and 360 lakh metric tonnes (LMT) compared to domestic consumption of 260 to 280 LMT.

Sugarcane Season Records!

“Because there is an abundance of sugar in the nation, the ex-mill prices of sugar stay low, which causes sugar mills to lose money. This 60-80 LMT surplus stock also prevents money from moving and impairs sugar mills’ liquidity, which causes cane price arrears to build up “the ministry stated in a statement. 

The government implemented the concept of a minimum selling price (MSP) of sugar in June 2018 and set the MSP at Rs 29 per kg. In February 2019, the MSP was amended to Rs 31 per kg in order to avert cash losses to sugar mills caused by low sugar prices. The sale of ethanol generated more than Rs 20,000 crore in revenue for sugar mills or distilleries during 2021–22, which also contributed to the early payment of farmers’ cane debts.

The central government has encouraged sugar mills to divert sugar to the production of ethanol and to export surplus sugar as one of the interventions to help the sugar sector develop as a self-sufficient industry over the long term. 

By doing this, the mills will be better able to pay their cane debts to farmers on time and will also have better financial conditions to continue their operations.

Avoid these road bumps on your journey to weight management and wellness

When it comes to losing weight and getting in shape, there is no shortage of diet tips and advice. Unfortunately, not all of this advice is good. In fact, some of it can be downright terrible, and can even be harmful to your health. In this blog post, we will take a look at some of the most common diet myths and explain why you should avoid them at all costs.

1. Crash dieting: Crash dieting, also known as “quick fix” diets, are diets that promise rapid weight loss in a short period of time. These diets often involve drastic calorie restriction, which can lead to fatigue, nutrient deficiencies, and even muscle loss. Additionally, crash dieting can slow down your metabolism, making it harder to lose weight in the long run. Instead, aim for a sustainable diet that you can stick to for the long term.

2. Skipping meals: Skipping meals, especially breakfast, is a common weight loss strategy. However, this is not only ineffective, but it can also be harmful to your health. Skipping meals can lead to overeating later in the day, and can also slow down your metabolism. Eating regular, balanced meals throughout the day can help regulate your appetite and keep your metabolism running smoothly.

3. Eliminating entire food groups: Many diets recommend cutting out entire food groups, such as carbohydrates or fats, in order to lose weight. This can be a dangerous approach, as these food groups provide essential nutrients that your body needs to function properly. Instead of cutting out entire food groups, focus on eating a balanced diet that includes a variety of nutrient-dense foods.

4. Fad diets: Fad diets are diets that are based on the latest trend or celebrity recommendation. These diets often involve drastic changes to your eating habits, such as eating only one type of food or drinking special shakes or supplements. Fad diets are not sustainable and can lead to nutrient deficiencies, weight gain, and other health problems.

5. Detox diets: Detox diets, which involve eating only fruits, vegetables, and other “detoxifying” foods, have become increasingly popular in recent years. However, there is no scientific evidence to support the idea that these diets can detoxify your body. In fact, many detox diets are low in essential nutrients and can be dangerous if followed for an extended period of time.

6. Extreme weight loss goals: Many people set unrealistic weight loss goals for themselves, such as losing 30 pounds in a month or going from a size 16 to a size 4 in a few weeks. These goals are not only unrealistic, but they can also be harmful to your health. Losing weight too quickly can lead to muscle loss, nutrient deficiencies, and other health problems. Instead, set realistic weight loss goals that you can achieve over time.

When it comes to losing weight and getting in shape, there is no shortage of diet tips and advice. However, not all of this advice is good, and some of it can be downright terrible. Instead, focus on eating a balanced diet, setting realistic weight loss goals, and making sustainable lifestyle changes. Remember that losing weight is a journey and it’s important to be kind to yourself, it’s not about perfection, it’s about progress.

The Tea Story of India – India’s Favorite Beverage of all seasons

Tea in India - History and Significance

India has a rich history when it comes to tea, with the beverage becoming an integral part of the country’s culture and daily routine. From its humble beginnings as a medicinal herb to its current status as the nation’s favorite pastime, the story of tea in India is one of evolution and adaptation. In this blog post, we will delve into the history of tea in India and explore how it became such a beloved beverage.

The Origins of Tea in India

Tea was first introduced to India by the British East India Company in the early 19th century. The company had a monopoly on the tea trade in China, and they were looking for new markets to sell their product. India seemed like the perfect place, with its large population and favorable climate for growing tea.

The first tea gardens were established in the northeastern state of Assam in 1823, and the tea industry quickly took off. The British quickly realized that the tea grown in India was of a higher quality than the tea grown in China, and they began to shift their focus to Indian tea production.

The Emergence of Tea Culture

As the tea industry grew, so did the popularity of the beverage among the Indian population. Tea became a staple drink in households and workplaces, and it was also served at social gatherings and celebrations. The British also played a significant role in promoting tea culture in India, with tea shops and cafes popping up all over the country.

The tea culture in India is now deeply rooted, and it is not just restricted to drinking tea, but also the way of preparing it. The Indian chai is a famous way of preparing tea, where it is brewed with spices and milk, which adds a unique flavor to the tea.

Tea Exports of India

As the tea industry in India continued to grow, so did tea exports. India quickly became one of the world’s leading tea producers, exporting a significant amount of tea to countries all over the world. Today, India is the second-largest tea producer in the world, after China, and it accounts for around 25% of global tea production.

The Indian tea industry has also been expanding in the international market, with the exports of tea increasing in recent years. India exports tea to more than 150 countries, with the highest exports going to Iraq, Russia, and Pakistan.

The Love for Tea in India

There are several reasons why tea has become such a beloved beverage in India. For one, it is a relatively inexpensive drink that is accessible to people of all socioeconomic backgrounds. Additionally, tea is a versatile drink that can be enjoyed in a variety of ways, from a simple cup of tea to a more complex chai.

Another reason why tea is so popular in India is that it is a comforting drink, and it is often used to bring people together. It is common for people to invite friends and family over for a cup of tea, and it is also a staple drink at social gatherings and celebrations.

The Tea vs. Coffee debate

While tea is the clear favorite in India, coffee has also been gaining popularity in recent years. However, it has been unable to capture dominance away from tea in India. One reason for this is that tea has been a part of Indian culture for much longer than coffee, and it has become ingrained in the daily routine of many people. Additionally, tea is typically less expensive than coffee, making it more accessible to a wider range of people.

In conclusion, the story of tea in India is one of evolution and adaptation. From its humble beginnings as a medicinal herb to its current status as the nation’s favorite pastime, tea.

Going vegan? The Secret to Serena Williams energy will surprise you

0

Serena Williams is one of the fittest and most successful female tennis stars of all time. With 23 Grand Slam singles titles to her name, she is widely considered one of the greatest athletes of all time. One aspect of her fitness routine that many people may not know is that she is a vegan. In this blog post, we will explore what a vegan diet consists of and how it may have helped her achieve her incredible level of fitness.

A vegan diet is a type of plant-based diet that eliminates all animal products, including meat, dairy, and eggs. This means that vegans only consume food that comes from plants, such as fruits, vegetables, grains, and legumes. The reasons for choosing a vegan diet can vary, with many people making the switch for health, environmental, or ethical reasons.

Serena Williams has been open about her vegan diet and how it has helped her maintain her fitness. In an interview with Health.com, she said, “I love that I’m eating more greens. I never ate greens, like, ever… And I love that I’m not eating meat, because it’s just better for my body.” She also mentioned that her vegan diet helps her feel more energised and helps her recover more quickly after a match.

So, what does Serena Williams’ vegan diet consist of? According to her coach, Patrick Mouratoglou, she typically starts her day with a smoothie made with fruits and vegetables, such as kale, spinach, and berries. For lunch, she might have a salad with quinoa or a veggie burger. And for dinner, she might have a stir-fry with tofu and vegetables. In between meals, she snacks on fruits, nuts, and seeds.

It’s worth noting that Serena Williams’ vegan diet is not only for her athletic performance but also for her health. When she was pregnant, she continued her vegan diet without any complaints. 

Some Benefits of a Vegan Diet:

One of the main benefits of a vegan diet is that it is often high in nutrients and low in saturated fat. This means that vegans typically consume more vitamins, minerals, and antioxidants than those who eat animal products. This can help prevent chronic diseases such as heart disease, diabetes, and cancer. Additionally, a vegan diet is also lower in cholesterol and can help lower blood pressure.

A vegan diet is also beneficial for weight management. Since plant-based foods are typically lower in calories and fat than animal products, vegans tend to have a lower body mass index (BMI) and are less likely to be overweight or obese. This can be beneficial for athletes like Serena Williams, who need to maintain a certain level of fitness in order to perform at their best.

In addition to the health benefits, a vegan diet can also have environmental benefits. Animal agriculture is a major contributor to climate change, deforestation, and water pollution. By choosing to eat plant-based foods, vegans can reduce their environmental footprint and help protect the planet.

Serena Williams’ vegan diet is a great example of how a plant-based diet can help support fitness and overall health. By eliminating animal products and focusing on nutrient-dense plant foods, vegans like Williams can get all the nutrients they need to perform at their best, while also reducing their risk of chronic diseases and their environmental footprint. Of course, every athlete is different and every body has different needs, but it’s clear that a vegan diet can be beneficial for many people.

‘Ajji-Approved’ Filter Coffee is available at Starbucks for INR 290

starbucks

Starbucks has announced that it is now selling “Ajji-approved” filter coffee in India. The coffee, which is priced at INR 290, is aimed at appealing to traditional Indian coffee drinkers, who often prefer filter coffee to other types of coffee.

The coffee is made using a traditional Indian coffee filter, also known as a “drip brew” or “filter coffee,”  which allows for a slow and steady extraction of coffee grounds, resulting in a stronger and more flavorful brew. 

The coffee is made using high-quality Arabica beans and is designed to offer a unique and authentic Indian coffee experience.

The company’s decision to sell this type of coffee is part of its strategy to cater to the local preferences and expand its customer base in India. The filter coffee is being sold in selected Starbucks stores in India and is expected to be available in more stores in the future.

The move is seen as a significant step in the company’s efforts to establish itself as a major player in the Indian coffee market, which is currently dominated by local players offering filter coffee. With the new offering, Starbucks aims to provide a new and unique coffee experience to its customers while also appealing to traditional Indian coffee drinkers who prefer filter coffee.

A twitter user also posted a meme about this. The caption accompanying the image stated, “Dear Starbucks, there’s literally no Ajji in God’s green earth who’ll approve a filter coffee for INR 290 + taxes.”

This Belgian Restaurant Offers Drinking Water Made from Recycled Toilet Paper

0

A Belgian restaurant has announced that it is now providing drinking water that has been recycled from toilets, though it is not a usual practice. According to the restaurant, which is situated in the city of Ghent, the recycled water is fully safe to drink and complies with all relevant health and safety requirements.

The restaurant’s restrooms are used to collect the water, which is then put through a labor-intensive filtration and purifying process. The procedure entails settling, activated carbon filtration, UV treatment, reverse osmosis, and ozone treatment. The finished product is reportedly of excellent quality and flavor.

According to the restaurant’s owner, the choice to serve recycled water was motivated by worries about the environmental effects of conventional water sources as well as a desire to cut expenses. Additionally, he said that the restaurant’s recycled water is less expensive than conventional bottled water and contributes to a reduction in plastic waste.

Both curiosity and controversy have been raised by the action. While some have commended the restaurant for its avant-garde strategy, others have expressed worries about the hygiene and safety of recycled water. The restaurant has taken precautions to ensure that the recycled water is tested frequently and meets all requirements for drinkable water.

The restaurant is the first of its sort in Belgium, and it is unclear whether this style will spread to other eateries and businesses throughout the globe. Drinking recycled toilet water is still seen as a novel idea, and its likelihood of becoming popular is unknown.

Doesn’t that seem both intriguing and strange at the same time? Post your ideas in the comments section below.

Burger King will pay $60,000 to settle an EEOC sexual harassment and retaliation lawsuit

burger-king

A Burger King employee suffered unwanted touching and filthy comments from her male manager on a weekly basis and was dismissed after repeatedly reporting it, according to federal officials.

The business that owns the Burger King in Murphy, North Carolina, is accused of allowing the assault against the pregnant female employee to continue. The Equal Employment Opportunity Commission said on Jan. 19 that it will now pay to resolve a complaint filed by the agency.

“The harassment was intense and pervasive,” court records state. “It changed the terms and conditions of (her) job and produced an oppressive work environment.” The EEOC said in a news release that the Burger King franchise, North Georgia Foods Inc., will pay $60,000 to settle a claim alleging sexual harassment, retaliation, and pregnancy discrimination.

In a statement, EEOC Regional Attorney Melinda C. Dugas said, “The outcome of this case shows that employers who ignore complaints of sex-based harassment in the workplace or retaliate against employees for exercising their rights under Title VII (of the Civil Rights Act of 1964) will be held accountable.”

On Jan. 20, McClatchy News called North Georgia Foods and Burger King for comment but did not receive an instant response. The manager of Burger King allowed “the opportunity to prey on” the worker.

According to a complaint, when the employee was hired to work at Burger King in Murphy in August 2018, the environment became “hostile” to her.

A male assistant manager began harassing her with “vulgar sexual statements,” “threatened behavior,” and “unwelcome groping and caressing,” according to the lawsuit. According to the complaint, some of the unwanted sexual contact would take place in isolated parts of the restaurant.

According to the lawsuit, the manager worked with the woman on a regular basis and had “the chance to prey upon” her.

According to the complaint, he informed the woman that if she reported him to management, she would be fired. He is also accused of threatening to look up her home address on the company’s computer.

After complaints, an employee is removed from the schedule.

Burger King is accused of retaliating against and dismissing the employee after she reported the harassment. According to the complaint, the restaurant dropped her from its calendar in June 2019. The next month, she filed an allegation of discrimination with the EEOC and gave birth, according to the complaint.

According to the complaint, after the lady was fired, a general manager told other employees she was on pregnancy leave when she didn’t show up to work, rather than indicating she had been fired. 

As part of the lawsuit settlement, North Georgia Foods agreed to post a phone number for employees to report harassment, amend anti-discrimination policies, and teach staff how to submit discrimination complaints under Title VII, according to the EEOC.
