(b) In order to ensure that both timely harvesting of cane and improved rate of paying farmers, the following measures have been in put in place: (i) SONY has embarked on expansion of its factory cane crushing capacity from the current 3,000 tonnes of cane per day to 6,500 tonnes of cane per day. Towards this direction, a due diligence exercise on the financial and technical aspects by Ms. Dyer and Blair have commenced today, the 18th of April, 2006.
