Belize Sugar Cane Farmers get tough on B.S.I.
2013-11-14 07:19:21| Sugar Industry News
We have been reporting that there is unease in the sugar industry because the Belize Sugar Industries has closed the door on discussions with the Belize Sugar Cane Farmers Association on revenue sharing in respect of bagasse. The BSCFA says B.S.I. is making millions of dollars in from the bio-fuel used to generate energy fed to the national grid. They also say, there is an agreement with B.S.I. on revenue sharing and the farmers are asking for ten dollars per ton of sugar cane brought to the mills. The BSCFA has upped the ante saying that it has a mandate from the farmers that unless they sign an agreement that involves bagasse, they will not be delivering any sugar when the next crop season opens on November twenty-fifth. The situation could deteriorate because farmers are not likely to sit back quietly. The BSCFA told News Five that it is meeting with its board members this Thursday to further review B.S.I.\'s position and that a follow up meeting will be held with their attorneys.

Carefully plucking more than 1,500 brittle and potentially damaged fuel assemblies from the plant's unstable Reactor No. 4 is expected to take about a year, and will be seen as a test of Tokyo Electric Power Co's ability to move ahead with decommissioning the whole facility - a task likely...
