2.3 Sub-products from sugarcane
In 2006, sugar processing productivity fertilizers from bagasse was 180,000 tons,
polly wood was 18,000 m 3 and 30 million litters of alcohol were distilled by molasses.
Moreover, sugar mills are invested in processing and producing paper, candy, animal feeds
and electricity, etc.
3. SOLUTIONS TO IMPROVE SUGAR PRODUCTIVITY
Government will control and prevent sugar from illegal import.
Total capacity processing will expand from 82,150 (now) to 105,100 tons/day in 2010.
Long-term programming and stabilizing concentrate areas; step up intensive
cultivation with increased cane productivity and high quality of sugarcane. Target is going to
exceed 70 tons/ha with higher 11% of CCS in year 2010 and achieve 100 tons/ha with higher
12 % of CCS in year 2020.
The irrigation systems will consolidate and upgrade in drought regions.
Mekong delta region: To dam up food control dike at some areas of which long
harvest helps for increasing sugar productivity per ha. Besides, to plant early mature varieties
in the sugarcane zones are flooding every year.
Government will establish the policy on insurance against prices and stable prices of
raw materials
To step up mechanical cultivation and harvest is essential to modern cultivation in the
future.
Selections of suitable varieties are harvesting time as early, mid and late; simultaneous
combination of resistance to pests, flood, drought and salt, acid soil, etc. Along with domestic
varietal selections will import new varieties from foreign, from exotic varieties are going to be
carefully retested before release to reality production. However, ratio of exotic varieties is
lower than 30% in area.
To invest in expenditure for transferring new varieties, modern cultivation and
advance of technology. There are 70% of new varieties with high yield and quantity (30% in
present). Carrying out ratio of sensible new varieties increases about 5% of cane yield per
year.
A system of seedcane treatment is necessary to clean setts for supply planting material
for commercial fields in each sugarcane area.
