Conclusion
Based on the above study, it is evident that the objectives of the study
have been met. The cost and revenue gain involved in sugarcane farming
in Khyber Pakhtunkhwa has been identified. It is clear that the sales
revenue in sugar cane farming exceeds the costs assuming that all of the
necessary inputs of production are available. Nevertheless, in many
cases, such inputs such as rain water are not available prompting a need
for the use of irrigation in the production process. Equally, resource
use efficiency in production has been assessed. It is clear that proper
utilization of resources will enable farmers in the sugarcane farming
sector to successfully exploit resources amidst the shortage of
resources in the sector. The lack of modern technology hinders the
realization of efficiency in the production of sugar cane. Finally, the
objective of assessing constraints that face farmers in the sugarcane
growing areas has been attained. Such farmers are faced with challenges
such as low funding, low access to labor, insufficient rainfall, and
lack of access to adequate inputs that include tubers and fertilizers
and delay in sugarcane payments after delivery. Addressing of these
challenges will enhance the success of sugarcane farming in Khyber
Pakhtunkhwa.
