UK Sugar Conference Important to Fiji

AT the Sugar Conference to commence in London on November 20, the Government of Fiji will be repre sented by the Director of Agriculture, Mr.

C. Harvey. Discussions will take place between the UK Government and Colonial sugar producing countries on long-term arrangements for the purchase of sugar by the Ministry of Food.

The five Sugar Unions in Fiji were asked to elect a representative or repre sentatives (expenses to be borne by the Unions) to attend the conference. Swami Rudrananda was elected to represent two of the unions and is already on his way to the UK. Whether or not the other unions will send representatives has not been announced.

As Fiji exists on a sugar economy any decisions relating to the future of sugar production and markets are of vital im portance.
