"take it yourself, take it as much as you want, no money!" since mid-march 2026, several sugar cane farmers in binyang county, nanning city, have posted videos on the internet, stating that they open their own cane plantations free of charge, inviting citizens to cut them down and take them away free of charge。
In recent days, sugar cane farmers have opened their land free of charge to make the cutting of cane by tourists a hot spot on the internet because of the sale of sugar cane. When you walk into the village of lian tong, binyang county, you find this red banner of “free-food cane” particularly glamorous, hanging in many gardens. Many cane farmers have opened up to their homes to be cut off for free by tourists。
It attracts a lot of people
The citizens who heard the news were carrying bags, pushing cars, choosing and harvesting in the ludicrous onion plantations, while the farmers stood side by side with no choice but to give warm guidance. Behind this seemingly “reward-making” goodwill is the choice of the cane farmers in their stagnating plight。
“it is better to deliver the claim free of charge than to rot in the ground.” the story of a sugarcane farmer in the town of li tong exemplifies the bitterness and reason of all growers. He counted a sum of $200 per ton of labour that had to be paid by workers to harvest the cane, which would undoubtedly have worsened for farmers who had lost their income as a result of the slowdown。
Sugar cane demurrage
Instead of paying for the harvest and abandoning it, it would be better to open the cane plantations free of charge and allow the citizens to cut them off themselves, save labour costs and quickly clean up the fields, free time for new seasons of cultivation and minimize losses. In this way, new crops can be planted in the qingda before they become clear。
It is known that the park is being taken off on a single day, up to 20 tons of sugar cane。
Free of charge
Owing to the expansion of sugar cane throughout the country, a sharp reduction of 55 per cent in the volume of purchases from the north and a single distribution channel, sugar cane was severely delayed in march 2026. Binyang county, a well-known sugar cane plantation in guangxi, was hit more severely。
In response, officials of the relevant department in binyang county stated that the current situation with regard to the sale of sugar cane had been noted and that active interventions were being taken to help farmers address marketing challenges。
