Basti, Uttar Pradesh: The Babhnan sugar mill is set to begin its crushing season on November 21, and preparations are underway. The mill is establishing sugarcane purchase centres in the area and improving routes to accommodate vehicle movement, reported Amar Ujala.
Farmers near the Gonda and Basti border, where sugar mill is located, are pleased that the crushing season is starting on time. Farmers say that if the mill starts on schedule, they will be able to sell their sugarcane and still have time to sow wheat. Around 80 per cent of the farmers in this region rely on sugarcane farming. Babhnan sugar mill’s Welfare Officer, K.P. Singh, confirmed that, as in previous years, the mill will begin crushing according to tradition and established practices.
