NASU Sugar Factory signs contract with 24 thousand households growing sugarcane in Nghia Dan

(Baonghean.vn) - On January 12, Nghia Dan District People's Committee and Na Su Sugar Factory held a conference on sugarcane material management in Nghia Dan District for the 2015-2016 pressing season.

Sugarcane growers give their opinions.

Nghia Dan district has more than 6,200 hectares of sugarcane entering harvest, with an estimated output of more than 300,000 tons. NASU Sugar Factory has signed contracts with 24,000 sugarcane growing households in the district and has many policies to support sugarcane farmers with capital and fertilizer.

However, in this pressing season, many sugarcane growers in some communes broke their contracts and sold sugarcane to other sugar factories in Nghe An province, affecting the operation of NASU sugar factory. Faced with this situation, the commune authorities have taken measures to propagate and mobilize people not to break their contracts and to comply with the signed principles.

At the conference, many opinions discussed that in order to ensure the sugarcane raw material area, the sugar factory needs to improve its support policies for sugarcane growers, introduce new varieties with high yield and quality, and build specialized sugarcane growing areas for better management and care. The local government should do a good job of propaganda so that people do not break their signed contracts for immediate benefits, creating a close link between farmers and the factory.
