Reliance Sugar Mill Bara has started sugarcane crushing from Thursday. The director of the industry, Rajkumar Agarwal, said that the crushing machine of the industry has been put into operation from Thursday with the target of crushing 15 to 20 thousand quintals of sugarcane daily.
"Due to the Gadhimai Mela, sugarcane crushing had to be started late this year," he said. We have started the crossing as soon as the congestion subsides.'
From this week, sugarcane collection has also been started by distributing sugarcane challans to farmers, he said. "Once the machine is started, enough cane needs to be stored in the industrial premises, otherwise it will be a suicidal step," he said.
This year, the goal is to crush 30 to 32 million quintals of sugarcane in a period of three to three and a half months, he said. The industry aims to collect sugarcane in this quantity from the farmers of Bara, Parsa. This is the industry. Baraka is the only sugar mill that buys sugarcane from farmers.
Kisan Hakhit Sangharsh Samiti Parsa Secretary Prithvi Sah said that in the previous years Reliance Sugar Mill started crushing sugarcane in the first week of November, this year it was very late. He said that Baba Baijunath Sugar Mill in Rautahat had already started crushing sugarcane before the Gadhimai Mela and the sugar mills in the border areas of neighboring India had also started crushing sugarcane a month ago.
If sugarcane crushing is started late in this way, the amount of water in the sugarcane will decrease and the farmers will lose and the industrialists will benefit, he said. Delayed harvesting results in higher recovery of sugar content from sugarcane, resulting in a profit for the industry and a loss for the farmer. He said that sugarcane has been cultivated in 10,000 bighas this year with 4,000 in Parsa and 6,000 in Bara.
Asarfi Sah, the former president of Nepal Kisan Sangh Parsa, complained that the government has disappointed the farmers by fixing the support price of sugarcane at Rs 655 per quintal this year. He said that the government has increased the price of sugarcane by only 20 rupees compared to last year and this year Reliance Sugar Mills has caused a double loss to the farmers due to late purchase of sugarcane.
