Renovate State-Owned Sugar Mills
The permanent closure of six state-owned sugar mills will compel the country to rely on imported sugar products and thus the market might turn unstable which is not a good sign. Instead of shutting down, turning state-run sugar mills profitable by modernizing them, carrying through planned investment, and diversifying sugar products. In this perspective, the real instance of Carew & Co (BD) Ltd, which has been quite successful to remain functional and profitable, could be followed.
We, earnestly, appeal to the concerned quarter to ensure diversification through joint investment from home and abroad, take effective measures to eliminate graft and corruption from this sector. We also urge to implement proper planning, enhance requisite skills, and assure quality management to confront the continuous downfall of the state owned sugar mills.
