Bangladesh Sugar and Food Industries Corporation (BSFIC) on Sunday urged all concerned to refrain from providing misleading and false information.
“Though sugarcane threshing has been suspended in the current 2020-21 season, the government will purchase all the sugarcane produced and supplied by the farmers in the catchment areas of six sugar mills. Rumors and misleading information are being published in various media that sugarcane will not be purchased in the catchment areas of these sugar mills,” said a BSFIC press release.
As per the press release, in order to make the state-owned sugar mills profitable by producing multifaceted food products by modernizing the sugar mills, it has been decided to suspend sugarcane threshing activities in six sugar mills this season.
Although the sugarcane threshing activities in these sugar mills have been suspended for the current season, all the sugarcane produced and supplied by the farmers in the catchment area of these mills will be procured this year as in previous years.
