    "content": "Hon. Deputy Speaker, I beg to give notice of the following Motion: THAT, aware that apathy in the sugar-cane farming due to unfavourable weather patterns and poor payment programmes by sugar millers to farmers has resulted in worrying drop in cane production and thus drop in sugar production; noting that millers have for years frustrated farmers through delays in payment for cane delivered; concerned that those late payments have caused sugar farmers untold suffering and frustrations and made them incur huge losses resulting from interest from loans advanced to them during cane farming to purchase fertiliser and other farm inputs; cognisant of the fact that as a result of this delayed payments, many of the farmers have remained poor and in debt, this House urges the cane millers to provide for mandatory payment to cane farmers within 14 days upon delivery. Thank you, Hon. Deputy Speaker."
