HYDERABAD: Sugarcane farmers in flood-hit areas of Mirpurkhas and parts of Tharparkar and Umerkot districts are undecided whether to set up their own gur (jaggery) manufacturing units or sell their damaged product to independent jaggery-makers.
Hajan Leghari, a farmer of Village Kandri Leghari near Jhudo town, says for the first time many people have installed a large number of new jaggery-making units along the main road from Mirpurkhas to Naokot and Mithi, where they buy sugarcane for making this product.
The farmers prefer to supply their flood-tainted sugarcane to jaggery factories instead of wasting time to continue supplying to mills.
