Nanning Sugar's Daqiao Mill Achieves Record 1.2 Million Ton Sugarcane Crushing, Driven by Party Building Initiatives
Nanning Sugar's Daqiao Sugar Mill has achieved a new milestone this crushing season, processing over 1.2 million tons of sugarcane, breaking its 1982 record. The total volume is projected to exceed 1.4 million tons. This success is attributed to the company's Party building initiatives, fostering farmer-enterprise cooperation, implementing 'eucalyptus-to-sugarcane' conversion, and undertaking significant technological upgrades. These efforts have optimized production, enhanced white sugar quality, and improved energy efficiency, setting new historical benchmarks across key performance indicators.
Nanning Sugar's Binyang Daqiao Sugar Mill recently announced a significant achievement: as of March 18th, its sugarcane crushing volume for the current season successfully surpassed 1.2 million tons, breaking the highest record since the mill's establishment in 1982. The company anticipates that the total crushing volume for this season will exceed 1.4 million tons, setting another historical high. Concurrently, the daily crushing volume has consistently stayed above 10,000 tons, with key indicators such as white sugar quality, bagasse baling rate, and molasses yield reaching their best historical levels. This impressive performance is a vivid demonstration of Daqiao Sugar Mill's Party Committee's commitment to Party building, deeply integrating it with production and operations, and reflects the collective effort of all Party members, cadres, and employees in overcoming challenges and striving for excellence.
**Party Building Leads, Farmer-Enterprise Unity Strengthens Raw Material Base**
Visiting Daqiao Sugar Mill's sugarcane cultivation areas, the well-maintained farm roads and vast, swaying sugarcane fields embody the company's philosophy of 'farmer-enterprise unity and mutual commitment.' To secure the raw material foundation essential for industrial development, the company's Party Committee seized the local government's 'eucalyptus-to-sugarcane' policy opportunity. They made decisive decisions, investing approximately 78.5018 million yuan to implement a 950 yuan/mu subsidy policy for converting eucalyptus to sugarcane. Between 2022 and 2025, 82,630 mu of eucalyptus forests were successfully transformed. Within four years, the sugarcane cultivation area expanded from 180,000 mu to 280,000 mu, laying a solid foundation for stable and high yields. In terms of farmer support services, the Party Committee organized 'Sugar Industry Vanguard · Grid Management' and 'Party Building Connects Hearts · Sweetening Thousands of Homes' activities, forming Party member pioneer teams to provide regular field guidance, ensuring the quality of raw sugarcane from the source. This crushing season, the company engaged over 12,000 sugarcane farmers, helping them generate approximately 864 million yuan in income, achieving a win-win situation for both corporate efficiency and farmer prosperity.
**Technological Upgrades Empower, Significant Achievements in Quality and Efficiency**
Facing challenges such as aging equipment and high energy consumption, Daqiao Sugar Mill's Party Committee designated technological innovation as a primary arena for Party members to contribute. They established a special technical renovation team led by key technical Party members, focusing on overcoming production bottlenecks and energy consumption shortcomings. During the 2025 overhaul period, the Party member technical team spearheaded upgrades to crushing, boiler, and other equipment, while simultaneously optimizing the clarification and neutralization processes. Through relentless efforts, the daily sugarcane crushing capacity steadily increased from 8,000 tons to over 10,000 tons, and the bagasse baling rate reached 7.43%, a new historical high. Process optimization efforts included successful improvements to the clarification process through repeated trials, effectively reducing production costs. Continuous optimization of the boiling process minimized sugarcane molasses loss, bringing the molasses yield down to 3.09%, a 0.61 percentage point decrease from the previous season. In quality control, 15 'Party Member Pioneer Posts' played a crucial role in key production positions. The Party Committee strictly controlled critical processes like clarification and neutralization, establishing daily tracking and weekly analysis mechanisms for quality indicators. As of March 18th, the first-grade white sugar rate remained at 100%, and the A-grade beverage sugar yield reached 95.6%, an increase of 14.86 percentage points from the previous season, marking the best white sugar quality since the mill's inception. In energy conservation, the Party Committee integrated energy consumption targets into performance evaluations. This season, the steam-to-cane ratio was 37.41%, a 3.39 percentage point reduction from the previous season; electricity consumption per ton of sugarcane was 31.14 kWh, down by 3.88 kWh from the previous season, saving approximately 200,000 yuan per month in electricity costs alone.
**Refined Management, Collective Efforts Drive Development**
Daqiao Sugar Mill's Party Committee consistently prioritizes team building as a foundational project, deeply integrating Party building with talent development and management innovation. For talent development, they implemented a 'Party Member Mentorship' model, where experienced Party members guide new employees, imparting technical skills, experience, and work ethics. Regular skills training, on-the-job practice, and technical competitions foster a competitive and learning-oriented atmosphere. In management innovation, the Party Committee continuously refined incentive and evaluation mechanisms. Through initiatives like 'Outstanding Team' competitions, tasks were detailed, and evaluations optimized, ensuring that 'everyone shoulders responsibility' became the norm. Looking ahead, Daqiao Sugar Mill's Party Committee will continue to deepen Party building leadership, consolidate and expand the achievements of technological innovation, and transform product quality and cost control advantages into core competitiveness for enterprise development, injecting continuous momentum for high-quality growth.
