Industries Minister Nurul Majid Mahmud Humayun has said the government has formulated a five-year roadmap for increasing sugar production.
In addition to this, he said plans are underway to modernise all the age-old sugar mills for the production and marketing of huge amounts of sugar.
To materialise the programme, Bangladesh Sugar and Food Industries Corporation (BSFIC) has undertaken a review project titled the Balancing, Modernisation and Replacement (BMR) of Carew and Company (Bangladesh) Limited.
To turn the north Bengal sugar mill into a profitable one, approval of a proposal for a feasibility study is now underway through modernising and diversifying the production.
