KARACHI: The Sindh Agriculture Department has claimed that there are no delays in sugar cane’s crushing and reduction in cane procurement price by sugar mills for 2024-25 season and said the mills are operating at full capacity.
A spokesperson for the department said in a statement that mills in the southern region, particularly in areas affected by rains, including Thatta, Badin and Sanghar, faced shortage of cane and therefore upped price over and above Rs450 per 40 kg to attract cane growers from other areas, said the official.
