Conclusion
Obviously the problems of the sugar industry are numerous and call for intensified efforts and team work for solution.
There are immense possibilities of such efforts resulting in increased yield and quality of sugarcane, decrease in manure, labour and manufacturing costs and in the end the overall costs of sugar production. Crores of rupees have been collected from the industry for research and development, but very little actually used for this purpose. It is in the realisation of the very great importance of intensive research and in the proper utilisation of the funds that the future of the industry rests for its survival.
