And so as we end the news tonight - things still aren't quite settled in the sugar industry. Two new formidable grower associations have appeared and up to this evening, they claimed to have increased their membership with a combined five hundred thousand tonnes of productions form their membership. Still, the Belize Sugar Cane Farmers Association remains the largest growers group - and they have yet to sign a contract with BSI/ASR. Until they pass a new resolution on Sunday - it's still wait and see. It's also been a rough week for the Prime Minister who was accused of abandoning the Cane farmers Association, and leaving that venerable body to splinter. So, will the PM pay a political price for it? Today he rejected that assertion:..
Hon. Dean Barrow, Prime Minister
"Ultimately, the effort to change the narrative won't succeed. We are satisfied that already those that matter, those that constitute, the silent majority, perhaps know what the truth is and so we in fact feel that when all this is over, when all the said and done, we will emerge even stronger politically in the north."
