The Cabinet has approved the Sugar Industry (Amendment) Bill 2024 for presentation in Parliament. This legislation is a result of a comprehensive review of the Sugar Industry Act of 1984.
One of the key provisions of the Bill is the reinstatement of the election process for members of the Sugar Cane Growers Council. This change aims to ensure that the perspectives of sugar cane growers are adequately represented and that they can effectively address concerns that impact their livelihoods.
In summary, the approval of this Bill marks a significant step towards empowering sugar cane growers and reinforcing their voices in the industry. With their opinions being prioritized, it could lead to more informed decision-making that positively influences the future of the sugar industry.
