The iVerify Network of Fact-Checking Desks has fact-checked this content and established that it is False.

To arrive to this conclusion, the iVerify Network of Fact-Checking Desks has conducted the following process. recently encountered a press release issued on September 25, 2023, by Kabras Sugar Company. The release aimed to inform the public that the information circulating on social media platforms regarding the closure of Rai Group is not only misinformation but also falls within the realm of unhelpful propaganda.
