Any organization which is going to claim it is behaving in a sustainable way & they are producing is sustainable can't ignore the human aspects of it as, forced labour & discrimination.

@aliktareen I've always seen JDW/JK Group as one of Pakistan's Best organizations, built on solid core values. Disappointing to see a recent HoD selection where the role went to someone whose background isn't directly relevant — raises real questions about HR practices.

Trapiche de #cañadeazúcar movido a tracción animal. Pakistán.
Dato: a pesar de que Pakistán es el 5.º mayor productor de caña de azúcar del mundo, la producción tradicional sigue viva fundamentalmente para la producción de gur (azúcar de caña sin refinar)
Kenyans could see lower retail sugar prices following a government decision to reduce the minimum sugarcane price by Sh250 to Sh5,500 per tonne, amid increased production and rising local supply.
The adjustment, implemented by the Kenya Sugar Board, is aimed at aligning raw material costs with falling market prices while maintaining farmer competitiveness, as the country records improved output from revitalised sugar mills.
Indian sugar stocks have surged far outperforming the broader market.
Key drivers:
Tightening sugar supply with closing stocks seen at a 9-year low
Strong expectations of MSP revision (stuck at ₹31/kg since 2019)
Rising crude oil prices boosting ethanol demand and blending push
While recent profit booking led to a dip in select stocks, the structural story remains strong—lower supply + higher ethanol economics could keep the sector in focus. #SugarStocks #Ethanol #IndiaMarkets #Commodities @MarexGlobal
In Andhra Pradesh, India, over 3 million farmers have replaced chemical fertilisers with natural farming.
The result: soil recovering its fertility & farmers reporting at least a 30% rise in productivity & income.

🌱 NOURISHING PLANTS, NATURALLY
By Gulab Orchard
Healthy plants begin with a healthy root zone. Nature already provides powerful allies in the soil—beneficial microbes, fungi, and organic compounds that protect plants and improve growth. At Gulab Orchard, we believe in strengthening crops naturally through sustainable and science-based practices.
Beneficial microorganisms in the soil compete with harmful pathogens for nutrients and space, reducing the chances of disease development. These microbes also produce natural antimicrobial compounds that suppress fungal and bacterial infections around the root zone.
Another key process is induced systemic resistance, where beneficial microbes stimulate the plant’s own immune system. This helps the plant develop stronger defense proteins and respond quickly to stress, pests, and diseases.
Mycorrhizal fungi and other beneficial soil organisms improve nutrient uptake, especially phosphorus and micronutrients, while enhancing root growth and soil structure. The result is stronger roots, greener foliage, and better fruit quality.
🌿 At Gulab Orchard, we promote eco-friendly farming that supports long-term soil health, stronger plants, and sustainable production for a greener future.

And we're off! 🌱 Planting season is underway across the valley as our growers start getting seeds in the ground for the 2026 crop. Safe planting, everyone!
Regenerative agriculture isn’t just about reducing harm, it’s about actively healing the land.
These practices work together to restore soil health, capture carbon to grow better crops, and build resilient farming systems.

This is the success model we all need to adopt—because a successful sugar mill depends on the prosperity of its sugarcane farmers.
Great respect 👏🙏 @JahangirKTareen@aliktareen@sugar
Not long to wait for the annual European sugar traders annual get-together at The Grand Duke. Poor domestic EU domestic values haven't stemmed the annual pilgrammage to Geneva.
