This small-scale furfural extraction activity could have a direct economic impact on the surrounding rural community, notably Rahim Yar Khan, where sugarcane growth is common. The availability of bagasse as a byproduct from neighboring sugar mills lowers the cost of raw materials, generating a steady source of income for residents and increasing job prospects in rural areas. Furthermore, local sugar mills could benefit from a more sustainable waste management strategy that converts bagasse into a valuable byproduct rather than discarding it.
