Ministry sends farmers to India
The Ministry of Sugar has sent 14 sugarcane farmers to India for two weeks to look at how the industry works there.
They will be part of the Indian Technical and Economic Corporation (ITEC) program, facilitated by the Indian government.
“India has much to teach us about the sugar industry,” said Minister for Sugar Charan Jeath Singh.
“This trip is not merely a leisure excursion, but an important opportunity for our farmers to gain invaluable knowledge and skills that will directly contribute to enhancing sugarcane production in Fiji.
“I encourage each participant to fully utilise this opportunity and learn as much as possible on the new innovative and techniques that you will see.”
