The Punjab government recently allocated sugar export quotas among mills in the region, with Jahangir Khan Tareen’s JDW Sugar Mills-I and JDW Sugar Mills-II receiving the largest share of 10,783 tons out of a total 96,000 tons. This decision, based on sugar production volumes rather than sucrose recovery rates, favors Tareen’s highly efficient mills.
The objective behind this allocation is to ensure an equitable distribution of export quotas across the 41 sugar mills in Punjab, considering varying sucrose content levels across different regions. Tareen’s mills, known for their exceptional efficiency and production capabilities, were thus awarded a significant portion of the quota.
This move underscores the Punjab government’s commitment to rewarding productivity and efficiency within the sugar industry. By recognizing and supporting high-performing mills like those owned by Tareen, the government aims to stimulate overall sectoral improvement.
Overall, this strategic decision reflects the government’s dual goals of promoting competitiveness and fairness in the sugar industry, thereby encouraging all mills to enhance their operational standards.
