Farmers in the northern district of Rajshahi have returned to sugarcane farming after rumors of closing sugar mills were dropped. The sugar mill's management strives to increase farm output by holding regular meetings with farmers, during which they discuss problems and strategies that can be used to resolve them. At our regular meetings, we have talked to farmers about their problems and worked on solutions together,” said Managing Director of Rajshahi Sugar Mills Shahjahan Kabir. The authorities are supplying good quality sugarcane seeds from North Bengal Sugar Mills,” President of the Sugar Mill Farmers Association Yasin Ali said. However, former president of Rajshahi Sugar Mill Workers' Union Mojibur Rahman said the farmers are still waiting for their October, November, and December salaries.
