BSCFA Calls for Urgent Meeting with PM Over Sugar Industry Concerns

The Belize Sugar Cane Farmers Association (BSCFA) has issued a public call for dialogue with Prime Minister John Briceño and key government officials to address urgent concerns in the sugar industry.

In a press release, the BSCFA said that their concerns extend beyond personal grievances. The association expressed apprehension about the alignment of government policies with multinational interests, which they believe could have far-reaching implications at the parliamentary level.

The BSCFA stressed the importance of open national dialogue, ensuring that all voices—including farmers—are heard in discussions about the industry’s future.

To facilitate this discussion, the BSCFA has invited Prime Minister Briceño, Minister of Agriculture José Abelardo Mai, and Minister of State for Economic Development Osmond Martinez to a meeting. The proposed session, set for Friday, April 4, 2025, aims to address unresolved issues and chart a path forward for the sugar industry.
