  • Target of cultivating 15,000 acres of sugarcane in the upcoming season

Additionally, the company is expanding sugarcane cultivation into traditionally non-cane growing areas, bringing new communities into the value chain. Farmers are supported with timely payments, access to credit, and training in modern agricultural practices.

  • 6,000 TCD sugar crushing capacity
  • 65 KLPD ethanol production unit
  • 24.45 MW cogeneration power plant
