- Low prices of sugarcane discourages the farmers whose effort to earn a living is directed elsewhere

- Delay in harvesting the cane lowers quality and tonnage of harvest, thus the farmers earn less/breakdown of machinery in mills and farms
- Mismanagement of sugar companies leading to losses/demoralizing the farmers
- The high cost of farm inputs leads to low income for the farmers and this discourages them
- Pest and diseases destroy the cane/stagnate the growth of cane lowering the produce
