✅sugarcane - FRP Vs MSP
🅾️ For sugarcane, the FRP is the primary pricing mechanism used to ensure farmers are paid fairly and promptly. However you should also note that the MSP exists theoretically but its practical application is limited due to the perishability of sugarcane and the urgency to process it quickly.
🅾️The mismatch between rising FRP and stagnant MSP for sugar poses financial challenges for sugar mills, affecting their ability to make timely payments to farmers.

✅ Cryoconite - Glaciers in Greenland.
🅾️It is a mixture of dust, soot, and other particles that accumulate on ice. These particles absorb solar radiation, which causes the ice beneath them to melt and form small holes.
🅾️Scientists have observed that as the amount of meltwater on the surface of the glacier increases, it flows into these holes and eventually makes its way to the glacial flows underneath. This process is leading to a rising output of methane from the Isunnguata Sermia glacier.
