GENERAL
SUGARCANE SEASON 1997 - 98
The Sugarcane crushing season started on 22nd November, 1997 and ended on 29th
April, 1998. The Sugarcane price was raised by the Government from Rs. 24/- to Rs. 35/- per
40 Kgs an increase of about 45%. This exorbitant increase in price has had a negative impact
on the Sugar Industry in that the cultivation of Sugarcane has been increased to more than the
requirement of the Mills. While this has given a boost to cane production and allowed capacity
utilization, it has also pushed the cost of sugar production much above the international price,
and has also led to a crash in domestic sugar price. Therefore, inspite of record production
during the year by the factory, we faced a grave financial situation and this is true for the sugar
industry in the country as a whole.
CURRENT SEASON 1998 - 99
The current season started on 25th November 1998 and we have crushed 428,100 tons of
sugarcane, production 31,672 tons of sugar upto 10th February 1999 at an average recovery of
7.50%. We anticipate to crush about 800,000 tonnes sugarcane during the season and hope to
produce approximately 60,000/64,000 tons of sugar and 40,000 tons of molasses. Due to
record production expected this year in the country plus carry over stock prices are expected to
be low and take off of slow which will have an adverse effect on the industry.
SALES TAX ON SUGAR
The Government imposed sales tax on sugar with effect from 1st April, 1998 and reduced
excise duty from Rs. 2100/- per ton to Rs. 400/- per ton. The present amount of sales tax and
excise duty works out Rs. 2,480.00 per ton.
DIVIDEND
The Directors do not recommend any dividend due to very low profit earned by the company for
the year ended 30 September, 1998.
STAFF
Labour and Management relations remained cordial during the year. All employees of
the Company were paid bonus equivalent to 4 months salary in addition to other
amenities and statutory benefits.
AUDITORS
The present auditors Messrs. Hameed Chaudhri & Co. Chartered Accountants, Lahore,
retire and being eligible offer themselves for reappointment.
The Directors appreciate the spirit of good work done by the company's staff at all
levels.
