Can sugar exports help in addressing arrears to cane farmers
Millers claim that sugar exports have assisted in clearing pending payments to sugarcane farmers. Do you believe that promoting exports can help resolve farmer payment issues?
- Exporting sugar can generate additional revenue for millers, helping them clear arrears to cane farmers.
- Increased demand from export markets can lead to higher prices, improving the financial condition of sugar mills.
- Exporting sugar reduces the domestic supply, potentially balancing the market and stabilizing prices, which can benefit farmers.
- Access to international markets provides a diversified income source for sugar producers, reducing dependence on domestic sales.
- However, relying solely on exports may not be a sustainable solution, and addressing underlying issues such as inefficiencies in the supply chain and price volatility is crucial for long-term stability.
