During the review period, the Company successfully managed to export its government quota, resulting in a positive surplus in revenue. However, local sugar prices remain under pressure, while the cost of cane continues to rise. The disparity between cane prices and sugar prices is concerning, as sugar prices do not appear to align with the increasing cost of raw materials. Additionally, the Finance Act for 2024-25 has introduced a federal excise duty of Rs. 15 per kg on sales to manufacturers, alongside a significant increase in the withholding tax rate for non-filers from 0.2% to 2%. These changes are expected to have a substantial negative impact on the Company's profitability.

The Sindh Government has not announced support price of cane for the crushing season 2024-2025, However, based on historical trends, Grower are selling it arround 425-450/40 kg. Despite this, the Government has not allowed free trade of sugar, local sugar price is still under presure and Goverment has forcefully keeping the sugar price below the cost of production. We strongly urge the government to prioritize the sugar sector and allow the free trade of sugar to ensure a fair and sustainable market.

Acknowledgement

The Directors would like to thank all the government functionaries, banking and financial institutions, suppliers and shareholders for their continued support and cooperation for the betterment and prosperity of the Company.
