Cane Quality Warning: FSC chief Bhan Singh said sucrose purity has fallen to about 9.5%, risking production if it drops further, while delays from harvest to crushing are worsening quality. Industry Representation: FSC CEO Vimal Dutt backed a return of elected Sugar Cane Growers Council leadership to restore farmer voice and speed dispute handling. Energy & Infrastructure: Nadi Airport broke ground on Fiji’s largest 3.25MW solar farm to cut costs, boost capacity and expand to 8–10MW. EV Push: Government and FMF highlighted EV rollout and charging expansion to reduce fuel import dependence.
