"One tonne of sugar cane can make around 110kg of sugar. This also shows sugar cane is of good quality," Chalush Chinthammit, chairman of the FTI's Sugar Industry Club, said. Crushed sugar cane has a commercial cane sugar (CCS) sweetness level of 12.7 as farmers supplied fresh sugar cane to factories, he said. Since December last year, 57 sugar factories have begun to receive sugar cane from farmers. "We still expect sugar cane output to reach 100 million tonnes in the full crop year of 2022-23," he said.
