"Companies in the sugar cane and sugar industry realise the unemployment problem. We should take part in helping the country by giving jobs to these workers, so that they could support their families. Sugar millers nationwide will find suitable jobs for them. They could work in sugar cane fields, tend machinery in sugar mills, or help in backoffice," said Sirivuthi Siampakdee, vice executive chairman of Thai Sugar Miller Co Ltd.
Of total 47 sugar mills, 10 are in the North, 16 in the Central, 16 in the Northeast and 5 in the East. The workers are offered temporary jobs for the 2011 crunching season, which starts from November to April 2012. Workers are encouraged to directly contact the millers.
