The cane farmers have asked Nepal’s government to disburse their due amount from the product sold to sugar producers.<\/p>\n
Six associations of sugarcane farmers have issued a joint statement where they threatened to launch a stir if their dues are not cleared immediately. They also lambasted the government for not acting against the sugar mill owners.<\/p>\n
