Sweet yields for cane growers
LARRY BENTLEY
IMPROVED weather conditions saw
cane growers end the 2013/14 season
on a high with a final cane delivery of
20 032 979 tons representing an
increase in cane production of nearly
16% over the previous season.
While the final Recoverable Value
(RV) price paid to cane growers was
R3 116.66 per ton RV, a decrease of
2% over the previous season, overall
revenue improved by 16% owing to the
higher cane crop.
Revenue earned by the cane growing sector of the sugar industry contributed R7 billion to the economy,
most of which is dispersed in the
rural areas.
