This year, despite the complicated weather and prolonged rain and floods, thanks to the focus on intensive investment and planting of high-yield varieties such as KK3, KK2, K9211, NK9211... many sugarcane areas achieved a yield of 80 tons/ha; the average for the entire raw material area reached 51 tons/ha.

At this time, because there is no general price of sugarcane on the market, Song Con Sugarcane Joint Stock Company temporarily purchases at 860,000 VND/ton. For concentrated sugarcane areas using machines from land preparation to planting in Giai Xuan commune (area of ​​117 hectares), the company buys at a price 10% higher than the initial commitment to the people.

The company's leaders said: If the market price is higher, the company will adjust it for the people; if the price is lower, the company will keep the current price. At the same time, they encourage people to grow sugarcane varieties with high yield and sugar content; focus on installing drip irrigation technology.

The company will support 6.5 million/ha for localities planning concentrated sugarcane growing areas of over 50 hectares; support households growing sugarcane with 2 stages of land preparation using 3-row and 7-row plows with 2.5 million VND/ha; support people who take care of sugarcane completely by machine with 2 million VND/ha./.
