Pakistan Kisan Movement (PKM) Secretary General said on Monday that sugarcane growers' anxiety is growing with reports of possible arrival of Indian sugar into Pakistan, affecting the sugar and sugarcane prices.
"It has panicked sugarcane growers, in general, and they are getting upset with the rising controversy in this regard," he said while presiding over a weekly meeting of farmers held at the Phoolnagar (Bhai Pheru) near Lahore.
He warned that the import of substandard Indian sugar would seriously threaten the economics of sugarcane farmers and sugar, especially the farmers' community who would be the main sufferers, leaving the country to earn foreign exchange on export of 500,000 tonnes of surplus sugar in the next crushing season.
