The results showed that over 10 thousand tons of sugarcane were harvested by machine, solving the problem of labor and cost for many households growing sugarcane with large areas. However, in reality, it still cannot meet the needs of sugarcane growers.
Faced with that situation, this year's sugarcane harvest, the company will contract 2 sugarcane harvesting machines to serve farmers right from the beginning of the season, to speed up the sugarcane harvesting process and reduce costs for sugarcane growers during the harvest.
