The Federation of Free Farmers Inc. has called on the Sugar Regulatory Administration to assist the sugarcane planters displaced by the closure of Central Azucarera Don Pedro Inc.’s sugar mill.
Montemayor said the closure of CADPI’s sugar mill may discourage sugarcane planters in the area to plant sugarcane in the next crop year. This, he said, may have an adverse impact on Luzon’s overall sugar production. CADPI was the second largest raw sugar producer in Luzon, accounting for 31 percent of the total 133,403 MT produced last crop year. CADPI milled 477,487 MT of sugarcanes in the previous crop year.
The Department of Labor and Employment has launched last-ditch efforts to stop the looming work stoppage in one of the largest raw sugar producers in Luzon. last Monday, the National Congress of the Unions in the Sugar Industry of the Philippines President Roland de la Cruz said majority of the members of the Batangas Labor Union , which covers the rank and file employees of CADPI, and the Professional Technical Workers Union , voted in favor of the strike.
“From the rank and file, 10 union members were affected while for supervisory [union], 5 were affected.”In an attempt to avert the looming strike, DOLE will conduct another conciliation and mediation meeting this week for the management and union members of CADPI.
