He added that the company's production of alcohol has achieved a very large increase, reaching 891 tons compared to 110 tons during the corresponding period last year, as a result of the urgent need for medicinal alcohol to be used as a sterile substance among the precautionary measures taken to confront the outbreak of the Corona epidemic, which led to an increase in production in Alcohol plant, while the production of cotton oil reached 477 tons of refined oil, with a significant increase compared to the same period last year, which reached 28 tons, due to the increase in oil prices in the local markets with the company maintaining a price lower than the market prices, which increased the demand for cotton oil. Thus increasing the amount of production in the oil plant.

Of soap, compared to 94 tons during the corresponding period last year, in addition to the production of 109 tons of coal gas, 97 tons of industrial alcohol, about 4 thousand tons of fine cake and more than 200 tons of lint.

Regarding the difficulties faced by the company, Al-Mahmoud explained that the most prominent of them are the old mechanisms and production lines, some of which reach 70 years of age, in addition to the lack of expert labor in some productive areas, the unavailability of raw materials, especially for the sugar factory, and the difficulty of implementing the investment plan projects as a result of the conditions of the economic blockade imposed on Our country.

It is noteworthy that the company includes four factories: “Sugar - Yeast - Alcohol - Oil” in addition to the soap section.
