The Cabinet has approved the Sugar Industry (Amendment) Bill 2024, paving the way for it to be presented in Parliament. This new legislation is the result of a comprehensive review of the Sugar Industry Act of 1984.
One of the key features of the Bill is the reinstatement of the election process for members of the Sugar Cane Growers Council. This move aims to ensure that the perspectives and concerns of sugar cane growers are adequately represented, allowing them to voice issues that impact their livelihoods directly.
This amendment presents a positive step forward for the sugar industry by reinforcing the democratic process within the growers’ council, which could potentially result in improved conditions and support for those working in the sector.
