Sugar cane growers are satisfied with the current payment of $35 per ton of sugar cane by the industry, following their request for a price increase due to rising input costs. However, the price dispute is not yet resolved as the Ministry of Agriculture and Livestock (MAG) has not made an official statement. The dispute arose in August when sugar mills failed to pay the set price of $35.05, leading to legal action and a reduction in the price to $31.70. The outcome of the appeal is still pending.
