REPUBLIKA.CO.ID, CIREBON - Sugarcane farmers in West Java suffered losses up to 70 billion IDR due to weather anomalies. 

"Wet dry season causes sugarcane farmers cannot harvest optimally. Rain continues to fall and causes sugarcane plantation in the areas inundated and the situation made cutting machine hardly works," Chairman of Indonesia Sugarcane Farmers Association (APTRI) in West Java, Anwar Asmali said on Wednesday.

Therefore, process of harvesting sugarcane can only be conducted from the edge of fields and farmers cannot reach the middle area. This condition made the sugarcane harvested is low in quantity and quality. 

Cane sugar mills cannot operate regularly, because the supply of raw material only reach 50 to 60 percent. While the fuel price hike add more problem and increase the production cost.
