Outdated techniques and lack of resources hinder sugarcane production in Pakistan.
Sugarcane production in District Mardan and Charsadda, Pakistan is low due to outdated farming practices and lack of modern technology. Most farmers rely on outdated information from fellow farmers, leading to low yields. Extension services are not reaching farmers effectively, resulting in a lack of access to high-yielding varieties and proper farming techniques. Issues like water shortage, lack of proper irrigation, and exploitation by sugar mills further hinder sugarcane production. To improve yields, farmers need better access to modern farming information, high-quality inputs, and fair prices for necessary resources.
