CSPCA Express Concern about the Future of their Memberships’ Livelihoods Amidst Sugar Impasse

The Corozal Sugar Cane Producers Association (CSPCA) is but one of the four cane farming groups in the northern sugar belt. Although they have an established commercial agreement with the Belize Sugar Industries Limited/ American Sugar Refinery Group (BSI/ASR), the membership has expressed its dissatisfaction with the current state of the industry. CSPCA Chairman, Vladimir Puc, says that while they respect the Belize Sugar Cane Farmers Association’s requests, the longstanding issues regarding the sugar impasse could be a potential threat to their livelihoods.
