Resumen

An Act to provide for the establishment of the Belize Cane Farmers’ Association as a body corporate and to provide for its functions, powers, organization, financing, etc. The Association shall consist of two Divisional Associations. There shall be for each Divisional Association a divisional committee of management. The powers and duties of the Committee shall be: (a) to promote, foster and encourage the growing of sugar cane by growers; (b) to extend and promote the welfare of the cane farming industry in Belize; (c) to negotiate on behalf of cane farmers the current price of sugar cane delivered by them to manufacturers; (d) to assist in settling any disputes that may arise between growers and manufacturers; (e) to make representations to the Board on any matter affecting the interest of growers; (f) to deal in fertilizers and agricultural implements and supplies, and to provide growers with agricultural services when the Association considers it in the interest of growers to do so, etc. (sect. 10). Every cane farmer over the age of 18 years who applies to and satisfies a divisional committee that either he or his predecessor in title has produced from his land not less than twenty-five tons of cane during the crop year preceding the date of his application shall be registered as a member of the district branch in which his land is situated. There shall be two categories of members of the Association, i.e. full members and provisional members. Registers of members shall be kept. The Committee shall issue licences to all growers desiring to produce and deliver sugar cane to manufacturers, for the purpose of being manufactured into sugar or ethanol or any derivative of sugar cane.
