Sugarcane farmers in Transmara demonstrate over the grounding of operations of Transmara Sugar Company in Enoosaen. [File, Standard]More than 10,000 Cane growers have blamed lapse in operations at Transmara Sugar Company for the delayed cane harvesting which has resulted in huge losses. “The firm should now let farmers whose canes are ready for harvesting to sell them to other millers who are ready to buy the ready cane,” he said. Narupa said close to 15,000 tonnes of ready cane are lying in various fields and the factory yards awaiting to be crushed. Transmara Factory chief executive Frederick North Coombes, however, asked farmers to be patient as the factory tries to resolve the challenges.
