But isn't a promise, a promise. Vote for us and we will restore the sugar industry. Now reality sinks in. 

The Agriculture Minister should not have any problems sourcing government fertilizers and chemicals. As RO he was completely in charge of its distribution to the farmers, at a very high cost.   

 “Achieving consistent and adequate cane supply is a problem across the industry… There is a shortage of essential inputs like fertilizers and chemicals which are vital to canes in the second crop and unless they are procured, cane growth will be adversely affected [which will] directly impact future production,” he noted.  

There was a shortage of cane cutters. All that is about to be changed. I hope. Actually they never said how they are going to do it. If they don't fulfill their promise, then in 2025 they are gone.
