Mr. Nguyen Ba Quy - Deputy Director of Song Con Sugarcane Joint Stock Company said: As of April 10, the company has purchased 95% of the raw sugarcane area, out of a total area of ​​6.9 thousand hectares in the districts: Tan Ky, Yen Thanh, Do Luong, Anh Son and Thanh Chuong. Currently, the company has informed the people that the pressing season will end on April 15, about 7 days earlier than expected.

According to the company's assessment, this pressing season's raw sugarcane output reached about 350 thousand tons, equivalent to previous years.

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 more than 1,000 hectares of newly planted sugarcane and more than 5,000 hectares of remaining sugarcane.
