For the latest news across Belize, visit: http://edition.channel5belize.com/ There seems to be a widening rift between cane farmers in the north and the millers, American Sugar Refinery/Belize Sugar Industry. It has to do with the cane price estimates and how it is being calculated. The contention between the two parties surrounds an eleven-million-dollar transportation cost of sugar/molasses at Free Alongside Ship. According to Orange Walk South Area Representative, Jose Mai, the cost has been passed on to the cane farmers. It has negatively affected the tonnage price of sugar cane delivered, which was at an average of forty-five dollars. According to Mai, costs should go to the buyer and not the seller.
