It will maintain the current 60,000 hectares of sugarcane fields until 2020, according to an Agriculture and Rural Development Ministry plan.
To achieve the target, the regional provinces have encouraged local farmers to use high-yield sugarcane varieties and mechanise the farming process.
In addition, they will continue to build and upgrade irrigation facilities and reorganise sugarcane farming from small to large-scale production, as well as utilise modern science and technology to reduce costs.
