"content": " Thank you, Madam, Chair. The entire spirit of the Act is to provide for the registration of farmers. And the registration of farmers is not compulsory. Once farmers are registered, a contract is created between a miller and the farmer. One of the issues that have afflicted the sugar industry is the issue of cane poaching where farmers run away and contracts are broken, thus creating a lot of litigation in the sugar sector. So, this particular provision is aimed at regulating and maintaining contracts. No farmer is being forced to register with a specific miller. But once you have registered with a specific miller, you need to honour your contract because contracts are made to be honoured."
