RAWALPINDI (PR): The Pakistan Society of Sugar Technologists (PSST) has joined hands with Shell Pakistan to conduct the forty seventh annual convention bringing together stakeholders in one of the country’s key agricultural sectors.
Pakistan is the 5th largest sugarcane cultivator in the world, and the area under cultivation has grown the most since 1947. The sugar industry in Pakistan is the 2nd largest agriculture-based industy in the country, and contributes 1.9% to the national GDP. Pakistani demand for sugar, both raw and refined, is growing exponentially, and due to this push in demand, Pakistani sugar mills are investing in comprehensive planning to increase production capacity. Part of PSST’s activities are educational seminars and conventions on sugar cane crushing, and regularly publishes material on technological improvements to benefit the industry as a whole.
Shell invests billions in research and development of revolutionary fuels and lubricants, which provide customers with tangible socio-economic benefits through fuel efficient, quality products that are technologically tested to improve the quality and increase volume of output.
Improving production capabilities translates into lowered maintenance costs and in turn savings for individual customers and the industry as a whole.
