Remember the 1968 against Ayub Khan over the rise in sugarcane prices? This was the start of Ayub’s downfall and Bhutto’s ascent. Ironically, today Bhutto’s descendants own the majority of sugar mills in Sindh. Two are on the right bank, which is reserved for rice, cotton, wheat
There were two sugar mills in Pakistan around Independence. Sindh’s first mill was set up in Tando Muhammad Khan in 1961 (it is called Faran Sugar Mills today).

Sugarcane sucks up far too much water for a crop that forms only 3.6% of our exports. To put it in further perspective, 25.49 billion cubic meter is used by sugarcane nationwide. This is equal to almost three Kalabagh dams worth of water.
