    "content": " Thank you, Hon. Temporary Chairman, I beg to move: THAT, Clause 4 of the Bill be amended by introducing a new paragraph (fa)— (fa) import sugar on behalf of the government whenever there is sugar shortage in the country; Hon. Temporary Chairman, this is because one of the ills facing the sub-sector is importation of sugar by private companies and millers. When millers are allowed to import, they do not focus on cane development because whenever there is a shortage, they will always have a window to import sugar. If we leave sugar importation to millers, we will be killing cane development and the farmer will suffer. Again, if we leave it open to private individuals to import sugar, cartels will fight sugar factories so that they do not produce and create a shortage that will open the window for importation. Sometimes, they even import over and above the required sugar shortage."
