The sugar industry
Dear Editor,
With regard to the sugar industry, has anyone thought of starting a new sugar company using new land and mechanical planting and harvesting?
If it is viable to do so then we would not need to systematically close down the sugar industry. If it is not viable, then we would need to look at alternatives to cushion the impact on people of systematically shutting down the sugar industry.
If sugar is not viable using mechanisation then it will not be viable using intensive labour (the traditional method) as is currently done.
We would need a feasibility study conducted before making hard choices.
Yours faithfully,
Sean Ori
