How Does The SICB Law Really Work?
posted (December 30, 2014)
And while that is what the law says, it contemplates declaring an open date for the season based on consultation with and consent of both the farmers and the factory. Both Ortega and Cansino discussed this today:..

Fred Ortega, Calling for Special General Meeting
"We get together and we set a date and then it is the SICB that pronounce that date on the different media that crop will start in a certain day."

Jules Vasquez
"In practical terms who would that work for the individual property owner, whether the property is the cane or the factory?"

Ezequiel Cansino, Chairman - BSCFA
"I don't know how it will work, but in a meeting the Prime Minister said that he can't put a date for start of crop. But if BSI doesn't want to grind the cane, what can we do with BSI? And the same thing can happen. BSI can open their gates and if the cane farmer doesn't want to deliver their cane, what can happen?"
