According to Mr. Quy, the reason the Company buys sugarcane for farmers at the highest price among the three previous price levels is to share the loss with families who harvest sugarcane at the end of the season, when the sugarcane is lighter than sugarcane harvested in the middle of the season.
Up to this point, Song Con Sugarcane Joint Stock Company has harvested about 75% of the raw material area. The unit is expected to finish the pressing season before April 15.
Currently, farmers are actively planting new sugarcane on 3,000 hectares and taking care of harvested sugarcane areas.
