Reasons for cane productivity decline
*contd
* 3.1.2- Required efforts to avoid/reduce negligence to follow standards ;
*contd
*contd
Irrigation materials shortage should be avoided. Due attention is
required for Replacement of old malfunctioning pumps.
Negotiation with EPCO officials should continue to make sure water
shortage will no longer be a problem.
Efforts are required to finalize Completion of Agricultural villages
under construction at all site.
In recent years cost of cane production is alarmingly rising, owing to
the facts;
* Poor attention on cost issues by management & employees. Most of
the time the major concern of the managers is attaining a production
target for the season at any cost.
* Rising price of agricultural input (Agro chemicals, spare parts etc).
* Increasing labour cost (wage, salary increment).
* Failure of recently purchased Agricultural machineries to be
*
operational as long as they are expected.
Production cost
* contd
Decline in cane productivity. When production per unit area reduces,
obviously cost per unit production rises, even if the cost encored per
unit area remains the same.
poor quality of work, which results in repetition of work/cost.
Therefore due attention should be given by all concerned to manage
manageable costs in the cane production process.
