    Financial Viability of the Fiji Sugar Corporation 287 Research Note The Financial Viability of the Fiji Sugar Corporation: An Assessment from the Corporation’s Annual Financial Reports Michael White1 Abstract This paper analyses the performance of the Fiji Sugar Corporation on the basis of its annual financial reports for the period 1997-2002. The analysis shows the following: that despite FSC undertaking an internal restructuring, there is no evidence of any material improvement in op- erating efficiency; there is no evidence of FSC having taken any ini- tiative to foster grower-miller collaboration; and that despite FSC’s calls for a renegotiation of the Master Award there is no evidence to suggest that the revision of the Master Award sought would of itself solve FSC long term financial problems. The analysis indicates that with the removal of Fiji’s access to the preferential sugar markets eq- uity holders’ interest in the corporation would be rapidly destroyed, given the industry’s current cost structure. The study also raises con- cern at the delays in the FSC taking out its annual reports. Introduction Notwithstanding Fiji sugar industry’s decline, it still generates some 7% of Fiji’s gross domestic product and 20% of the country’s export earnings (Reserve Bank of Fiji 2003). The welfare of the in- 1 I wish to acknowledge the constructive comments provided by three anonymous reviewers, to an earlier draft of the paper.

The price of sugar varies considerably depending on Fiji demand and on quality. Quality of raw sugar is assessed using parameters such as percentage glucose, reducing Food composition sugars, dextran, colour, starch, and ash, with all of the inorganic components summarised in this last parameter.

This study determined the concentrations of agronomically important elements in raw sugar for Fiji Concentration – Nutrient budgets (where no previous data were available) throughout the 2013 crushing season (July November) for all 4 sugar mills in the country. The results showed average concentrations of N 415, P 23, K 1140, Ca 288, Mg 124, Na 22 − and S 214 (mg kg 1) with distinct variations between the mills, but very limited seasonal variability. The contribution of sugar exports to the national nutrient budgets was also examined with sugar exports for most elements representing < 10% of fertiliser imports.

  • Energy Aspects of Fiji's Sugar Industry
    Energy Aspects of Fiji’s Sugar Industry 243 Energy Aspects of Fiji’s Sugar Industry: A Case for More Efficient Electricity Generation from Bagasse Surendra Prasad Abstract Bagasse, a by-product of sugar cane crushing, is the major energy source for the sugar mills in Fiji. In 2001, the FSC utilized some 700,000 tonnes of wet bagasse, generating an average of 25 MW of electrical power during the crushing season. This paper pro- poses that there is enough bagasse to generate all the required electricity for the FSC and to also sell the excess to other users, or to the national power company. Currently, not all the bagasse is used and of the amount that is used, the overall conversion effi- ciency is relatively low. This paper makes a case for improving the efficiency of generating and using electricity from bagasse. By doing so, FSC can greatly increase its energy position in the long- term. Introduction Sugar remains one of the largest revenue earners for Fiji, brin g- ing in over $F200m as export revenue annually. Export of sugar pro- duced from sugar cane is one of the two major export revenue earners for Fiji, the other being garments. Since the 1930’s and until early 1980’s, sugar was the biggest export earner, earning around 70% of the country’s total export income. Around 77,000 hectares of land is under sugarcane cultivation, with over 22,500 people directly involved in cane cultivation, and another twenty four thousand in the harvest- ing, transportation and milling processes.

    DISTRIBUTION, ASSESSMENT AND LOSS CAUSED BY RATOON STUNTING DISEASE (Leifsonia xyli subsp. xyli) OF SUGAR CANE IN THE FIJI SUGAR INDUSTRY A thesis presented in partial fulfillment of the requirements for the degree of Master of Sciences in Biology at the University of the South Pacific. Saimone Sabakera Johnson 2006 i DECLARATION I declare that this thesis is my own work, except for those sections explicitly acknowledged, and that the main content of the thesis has not been previously submitted for a degree at any other university. SAIMONE SABAKERA JOHNSON ii iii ABSTRACT New sugarcane varieties are developed and provided to the Fiji Sugar cane farmers by the Fiji Sugar Corporation through its Sugar Cane Research Centre at Lautoka. Currently, the average cane yield in Fiji is 45 – 70 tonnes/ ha. Due to the low cane yield in Fiji, research has been directed at increasing the cane yields. One of the causes of low cane yield is the ratoon stunting disease. The objective of this study was to determine the distribution, assessment and loss by ratoon stunting disease (Leifsonia xyli subsp. xyli) of sugar cane in the Fiji sugar industry. A nationwide survey was conducted and positive samples were identified using two diagnostic technique, phase contrast microscopy and Evaporative-Binding immunoassay. A difference of 23% was observed with the results with EB-EIA being more sensitive. Positive samples were cultured in the laboratory. Cultured stocks were used in inoculating the cane plant for yield loss trial and resistance screening trial. The epidemiology of the ratoon stunting disease in the Fiji sugar industry showed that the disease is widespread in all the sugarcane sectors with varying amounts of infection averaging iv 29% and 6.6% based on evaporative-binding immunoassay and phase contrast microscopy respectively.
