Fiji Labour Party Leader Mahendra Chaudhry Opposes Sugar Minister’s Land Vacate Proposal

Fiji Labour Party leader Mahendra Chaudhry has voiced his opposition to Minister for Sugar Charan Jeath Singh’s recent proposal that sugarcane farmers producing less than 50 tonnes of cane may be asked to vacate state and native land.

"In these hard times, the farmers concerned should be encouraged and assisted to become more productive instead of being displaced," Chaudhry said.
