Abstract
This Act regulates the production of sugar-canes. It prohibits the cultivation of sugar-cane without a contract with a miller as required by this Act. The contract shall be in accordance with the form contained in the First Schedule or as near thereto as circumstances shall permit, and shall specify the varieties and quantity of canes which the miller agrees to purchase in each year during which the contract is in force, and may contain any other conditions not inconsistent with the provisions of this Act. No miller shall, without good and sufficient reason, refuse to enter into a contract with any farmer from whom the miller has purchased canes for three consecutive years immediately preceding the farmer’s request to enter into such a contract. The Act establishes the Cane Farming Arbitration Board, whose duty it shall be to settle any dispute or claim arising out of any contract or sub-contract or under this Act.
