Raw Sugar (Jaggery/Shakkar) Making, Processing and Packaging

Raw Sugar (jaggery/shakkar) is a healthier and better alternative to white sugar. According to research carried out around the world, white sugar is damaging human health and is labeled as “white poison”. ZTBL is already providing loaning facilities to farmers under Soghat-e-Shireen Scheme for “Gur Making”. Loaning facilities can also be provided on similar grounds for raw sugar making as well. ZTBL will try to provide linkages to farmers for marketing of their produce either by contact with utility stores or supermarkets etc. or by exploring suitable parties for buying raw sugar for further marketing.
