Cane farmers have received $24.62 per tonne as the third cane payment for the 2022 harvest season.

According to FSC's Chief Executive Officer, Bhan Pratap Singh, this payment is one of the highest in the last two decades.

The third cane payment of $24.62 per tonne brings the total amount paid to farmers for the 2022 cane payment to $78.15 per tonne.

A sum of approximately $40 million has been paid to the growers as a third cane payment.

Singh says FSC is committed to supporting the farmers and ensuring the sustainability of the sugarcane industry in Fiji.

He says they will continue to work closely with their stakeholders to address the farmers' challenges and provide them with the support they need to succeed.

Singh adds FSC is also committed to assisting farmers in access to inputs such as technical support and training to improve the quality and yield of their crops.
