    (People's Daily) Sugarcane growers suffered heavy losses after the price of sugarcane fell for several consecutive seasons.
    The trade remedy measures of the Ministry of Industry and Trade on sugarcane imported from Thailand have brought benefits to the domestic sugar industry
    .
    Only in central and southern provinces such as Phu An, Khanh Hoa and Ninh Thuan, the price of sugarcane has risen from VND 1 million/ton to VND 1.
    2 million/ton this year, a record high
    .
     
    After the Covid-19 pandemic, the high price of sugarcane has contributed to the stability and forward development of people's lives
    .
    However, there is still a lot of work to be done by businesses and growers to keep the joy of the next sugarcane year going
    .
     
    Sugarcane harvest in jubilation
     
    The central and southern provinces are at the peak of the 2021-2022 sugarcane harvesting year
    .
    In key sugarcane-growing areas such as Ninh Son, Pok Oi (Ninh Thuan Province), Ninh Hoa City (Khhh Hoa Province), or mountainous counties such as Dong Xuan, Son Hoa, and Hin Ha (Phu An Province), trucks are busy delivering sugar cane this season
    .
     
      Ms.
    Nguyen Thi Ngoc Huong, a native of Ninh Quang Township, Ninh Hoa City, Khanh Hoa Province, said that with 40 hectares of sugarcane, she harvested more than 2,000 tons and earned more than 2 billion VND
    .
    Ms.
    Nguyen Thi Ngoc Huong shared, “We have mechanized farming, planting, fertilizing, spraying weeds, etc.
    , thus reducing costs
    .
    The land is mechanized, with high porosity and adequate watering, so the sugarcane grows well.

    .
    Zhang Wenwen, chairman of the People's Committee of Ninh Quang Township, said that this year's sugarcane season, factories are buying sugarcane at a price of about VND 1 million per ton
    .
    That's a high price compared to recent years
    .
     
      With 23,000 hectares, Fu'an has the largest area of ​​sugarcane among the central and southern provinces.
    This year, there are 12,400 hectares being harvested in Shanhe, a mountainous county alone
    .
    Vietnam KCP Industries Co.
    , Ltd.
    (a sole proprietorship in India) has signed contracts to sell products at a price of VND 1.
    2 million/ton of sugarcane, helping sugarcane growers earn high incomes, with an average of VND 30 million to 40 million/ha
    .
    Su Mingxiong, a native of Shanfu Township, Shanhe County, Fuan Province, harvested 3 hectares of sugarcane this season
    .
    This is the first year that his family has planted sugarcane according to the pattern of digging and watering.
    The sugarcane has grown very well, reaching a high yield of about 80 tons per hectare
    .
    "At the current sugar cane price, the family has earned more than VND 100 million this sugar cane season," said Mr.
    Su Minh Hung
    .
     
      According to Su Fangbei, chairman of the Shanhe County People's Committee, sugarcane has been identified as the main local crop and a crop for sustainable poverty reduction.
    Over the years, the county government has been cooperating with Vietnam KCP Industry Co.
    , Ltd.
    to mobilize the people to plant sugarcane, and established an area of It is a stable raw material area of ​​13,000 hectares
    .
    Among them, there are 2,400 hectares of sugarcane with stable irrigation water, and the yield is 100 tons/hectare
    .
    The remaining sugarcane area yields an average of 58-60 t/ha
    .
    On average, growers can earn between 30 million and 40 million VND per hectare
    .
     
      need for sustainable measures
     
      In fact, the sugarcane market has been sluggish for many years, factories have lost money, farmers have abandoned sugarcane, and many areas have switched to other crops
    .
    The area under sugarcane cultivation has decreased significantly
    .
    For example, in Ninh Thuan province, the sugarcane planting area was 3,500-5,000 hectares during the peak period, but only 1,330 hectares this season
    .
    However, sugarcane is still a high-income crop with the characteristics of the soil in the western semi-mountainous areas of the central and southern provinces, which can contribute to sustainable poverty reduction
    .
     
      Before 2017, sugarcane was the main crop, and the planted area reached 18,500 hectares, said Li Bonin, deputy director of Khanh Hoa's Department of Agriculture and Rural Development
    .
    However, for the sugarcane season of the 2020-2021 crop year, there are only about 12,500 hectares of sugarcane in the province
    .
    The sugarcane area in Fu'an also decreased from 26,000 hectares to 21,369 hectares
    .
    Sugarcane acreage has decreased, while sugarcane prices have risen for two consecutive seasons, resulting in a shortage of raw materials
    .
    In the face of seasonal demand, there is competition between factories in the region to buy and sell raw materials
    .
     
      With the goal of expanding the area of ​​sugarcane and increasing sugar production, the company has formulated a strategy for production and business activities until 2025, said Nguyen Chin Keong, manager of Bien Hoa-Phan Lang Sugar Industry Joint Stock Company
    .
    According to this, in the 2022-2023 crop year, the planting area will increase to 2,500 hectares, with an average yield of 70 tons per crop year, and the factory will produce 175,000 tons of refined sugar
    .
    By the 2024-2025 crop year, the area under sugarcane cultivation will be expanded to 3,200 hectares, with an average yield of 75 tons per hectare and an annual output of 240,000 tons of refined sugar
    .
     
      In Xinhe County, Phu An Province, some factories source raw materials from Qinghe and Dele in competition
    .
    Of the 1,500 hectares in Xinhe County's 4,600 hectares of sugarcane, only 35% of the sugarcane production was sold to the sugar mills of Suihe Sugar Industry Joint Stock Company, and the remaining 65% was sold outside the province
    .
    Faced with the above situation, various sugar factories and localities are formulating appropriate strategies to build stable raw material areas and organize joint operations with farmers
    .
    During the 2021-2022 crop year, the company provided farmers with a total of VND 40 billion in free assistance for planting and caring for sugar cane, a representative of Vietnam KCP Industry Co.
    , Ltd.
    said
    .
    The company goes all out to purchase sugarcane at high prices to help farmers increase their income, so that farmers can see the benefits brought by sugarcane and insist on planting sugarcane
    .
    It is expected that the company will continue to provide free assistance funds totaling VND 50 billion in the sugarcane year of 2022-2023; it plans to continue to invest VND 350 billion to support sugarcane farmers with a number of preferential policies, and has signed contracts with 9,000 households and will sign contracts with farmers.
    The area of ​​sugarcane increased to 19,000 hectares
    .
     
      Li Bonin, deputy director of Khanh Hoa's Department of Agriculture and Rural Development, said that Khanh Hoa province has formed a fairly sustainable link chain between sugar mills, farmers and local authorities in sugarcane cultivation
    .
    Khanh Hoa province continues to invest in irrigation systems and transportation infrastructure in the sugarcane raw material area; people are encouraged to cooperate with sugar companies for the specialized and intensive cultivation of sugarcane
    .
     
      In Ninh Thuan province, in the 2021-2022 crop year, Bien Hoa-Phan Rang Sugar Joint Stock Company has offered farmers a contract for the sale of sugar cane at a purchase price ranging from VND 1.
    075 million to VND 1.
    1 million per ton, which is higher than the previous crop year.
    surged
    .
    The company provided free aid funds of VND 10.
    8 million per hectare to new sugarcane growers
