Abstract: Let $G$ be a finite cyclic group. Every sequence $S$ over $G$ can be written in the form $S=(n_{1}g)cdot\mathrm{...}cdot(n_{k}g)$ where $ginG$ and $n_1,cdots,n_{k}in[1,hboxmord(g)]$, and the index $indS$ of $S$ is defined to be the minimum of $(n_1+cdots+n_k)/hboxmord(g)$ over all possible $ginG$ such that $langlegangle=G$. A conjecture says that if $G$ is finite such that $gcd(|G|,6)=1$, then $ind(S)=1$ for every minimal zero-sum sequence $S$. In this paper, we prove that the conjecture holds if $|G|$ has two prime factors.
