  This study investigates the untapped potential of sugarcane bagasse in Rahim Yar Khan for furfural synthesis, a valuable chemical produced from agricultural waste. This study analyzes the production potential and assesses the economic viability of extracting furfural from bagasse using acid-catalyzed hydrolysis. The study involved collecting bagasse samples from various sugarcane mills, performing experiments, and analyzing the detected furfural using colorimetric and analytical techniques. Furfural extraction is profitable, as the economic study shows, with a significant return on investment anticipated. The results emphasize the sugarcane sector of Rahim Yar Khan as a possible source for sustainable furfural production, supporting a circular economy and opening doors for the chemical industry in Pakistan. . This study provides essential data for future research and implementation of furfural production in Pakistan, laying the groundwork for additional exploration of this subject.
