The article highlights the efforts of various sugar companies in Vietnam to support sugarcane producers by increasing the purchase prices for the 2020-2021 crop year. An Khe Sugar Factory raised its rate by 30,000 VND/ton, and other companies like Thanh Thanh Cong JSC and Son Duong Sugar JSC have also increased their prices. The Vietnam Sugarcane and Sugar Association (VSSA) has recommended an increase in sugarcane purchase prices to cover costs and provide a profit margin for farmers. The association also suggested that sugar mills could use the 'retroactive payment' approach to financially support farmers after the harvest.
