Karbi Anglong Has Potential for a Thriving Sugarcane Industry

Karbi Anglong and West Karbi Anglong districts have ideal conditions for sugarcane cultivation, especially in Bakalia and Kherani. Farmers demand sugar mills to boost local production and economic growth.

The Assam government and Karbi Anglong Autonomous Council (KAAC) could play a key role in establishing mills, creating jobs, and supporting ethanol production. Improved infrastructure, irrigation, and market access are essential for industry growth. Sugarcane byproducts like bagasse can further expand economic opportunities.
