DHAKA: Sugarcane cultivators in Bangladesh are celebrating a year of exceptional production, thanks to favorable weather conditions, reported Xinua.
The early harvest of sugarcane has been in full swing in Dhaka, with the harvesting season extending from September to March next year.
Farmers are expecting a considerable profit from the bumper harvest, as sugarcane prices are currently high.
The increased sugarcane production is a boon for Bangladesh’s sugar industry, which has been struggling in recent years due to a shortage of raw materials.
The bumper sugarcane harvest is also good news for consumers, as it is likely to lead to a fall in sugar prices in the domestic market.
