Everest Sugar Mill makes timely payments to farmers
Amid complaints that most sugar mills in the country have not paid sugarcane farmers on time, the Everest Sugar Mill, in Ramnagar, Mahottari district, has paid the increased amount of sugarcane purchased this year.
For the past few years, Arju Rice Mill has been collaborating with thousands of farmers on more than 4,000 bighas of land in Morang, Sunsari and Jhapa in eastern Nepal.
MAHOTTARI, May 23: Sugarcane producers have padlocked Everest Sugar and Chemical Industries, one of the largest sugar mills of the country, after the mill failed to settle their outstanding payments.
