The third cane payment of $8.15 per tonne for the 2018 season will be paid out to the sugarcane farmers today.
The Fiji Sugar Corporation paid farmers $39.65 per tonne for the first cane payment and $13.22 per tonne for second cane payment.
This now brings the total payment for the 2018 season to $61.02 per tonne of cane.
The FSC says a guaranteed cane price of $85 per tonne is payable to growers in respect of the 2018 cane crop and the balance of the guaranteed price will be payable to farmers later this year.
Meanwhile, the Sugar Industry Tribunal in accordance with the Sugar Industry Master Award certified that the total sugar sale for 2018 is $79,159,011.
