The Ministry of Sugar today revised downward the cost of damages to crops and mills from the recent flood.
The cost now stands at $8.5 million, as opposed to $18 million, which was earlier predicted.
Director for Sugar Viliame Gucake said the initial figure was presented to Prime Minister Commodore Voreqe Bainimarama on Saturday, but it was reviewed at a later assessment.
Gucake said they are just waiting for proper water supply to the Rarawai Mill so that they can clean the silt and debris from the flood.
According to Gucake, the cost of cleaning the Rarawai Mill is estimated to be $2 million.
He said that apart from that, crop rehabilitation would cost $2.5 million, $3 million for tramline improvements and repair, and $1 million for cane access roads.
