"sugar factory"

LOCAL GROUPS, mostly farmers, are voicing strong opposition to the construction of a sugar factory and connected bagasse-fuelled power plant in the heart of Thung Kula Rong Hai – an area in the Northeast known for its jasmine rice.

Khon Kaen residents fight against project due to concerns over health and ecology.

For the past two years, I have lived in the Nakhon Sawan village of Ban Makluea, a few kilometres from a cane sugar factory that is destroying the lives of many local residents.
