"content": "Issues that came out from the initial report were to do with delayed payments to sugar-cane farmers, thus resulting in arrears, high cost of production and acute cane shortage. I want to dispute and say that there is no acute sugar-cane shortage. This is purely intentional because when you do not pay a farmer, how do you expect him to produce sugar-cane? Also, there was low productivity, ineffectiveness in the cross-chain value and a weak regulatory framework. The Report that Hon. Kenta has come up with references on the sugar task force, which was also part of the initial report. I want to agree that it will be a good thing if the taskforce reports and recommendations are also incorporated in this Report that Hon. Kenta and the Committee have produced, especially where it is talking about issues to do with the SDL. The electronic version of the Official Hansard Report is for information purposesonly. A certified version of this Report can be obtained from the Hansard Editor."
