Mr. Nguyen Ba Quy - Deputy Director of Song Con Sugarcane Joint Stock Company (Tan Ky) said: By April 7, the unit had finished purchasing raw sugarcane for people, about 10 days earlier than expected.

According to the company's assessment, this year's sugarcane crop yield is not high, the unit's sugarcane output this season is about 320 thousand tons, lower than previous years, however, the plants have few pests and diseases, the sugarcane quality is good, so the sugar content is high. The sugar output of this pressing season is 32 thousand tons.

Ending the pressing season early will give farmers more time to take care of their sugarcane. Therefore, immediately after the pressing season ends, the company will encourage farmers to take timely care of nearly 1,000 hectares of newly planted sugarcane and more than 4,000 hectares of remaining sugarcane.
