Rarawai Mill in Ba will begin crushing today.

This is following the successful opening of the Labasa Mill last Thursday and Lautoka Mill yesterday.

Fiji Sugar Corporation, chief executive, Graham Clarke, says they are having a very encouraging start to the 2017 crushing season.

“Just encourage our growers to deliver their cane and the factories have started to run well – so the more cane we get the quicker we can get through the season and the smoother we can operate. We look forward to receiving as much cane as the growers can supply.”

Clarke says they are targeting to crush over two million tonnes of cane this year.

The FSC will meet the farmers in the Western Division tonight.
