4th cane payment of $13.73 per tonne paid to growers

The fourth cane payment of $13.73 per tonne has been paid to the cane growers.

This now brings the total amount to $75.26 per tonne of cane of the $85 per tonne for the 2019 cane payment.

Fiji Sugar Corporation’s CEO, Graham Clark had earlier told us that the FSC had taken Sugar Cane Growers Council’s request on board to bring forward the fourth cane payment which is due at the end of May.

This payment is expected to bring some relief for everyone as many children and relatives of sugarcane farmers who were working in hotels and resorts are now totally relying on cane income.
