Sugarcane business organisation SA Canegrowers will meet with the business rescue practitioners (BRPs) appointed to sugar producer Tongaat Hulett after Tongaat missed the deadline by which to make payment to growers for sugarcane delivered in September, says SA Canegrowers chairperson Andrew Russell. SA Canegrowers says it is committed to working with Tongaat Hulett, the BRPs, banks, government and other industry stakeholders to ensure the current crisis is reversed and to mitigate the impact on the workers and the rural economies that rely on the sugar industry for their livelihoods.
