The project output amounting to about 60,000 tonnes of white sugar at full capacity production would alleviate the acute shortages now prevalent in the country.Thus the project output together with the output expected from other units in the country could go entirely to the satisfaction of local demand.

SCOUL will employ about 6,000 people and assuming a dependency ratio of 5 to 1, some 30,000 people will be indirectly supported.
