And while he hasn't read the letter from the big, bad BSCFA, oddly the PM does seem to be up to speed on a letter form another of the cane farmer associations saying that they want and need the cane crop to start on time in mid December.

John Briceno, Prime Minister
"We have three other cane farming associations and they have also expressed concerns, one of them wrote me a letter on Monday expressing grave concerns because they have signed a contract, they have signed onto, they have an agreement with BSI and their concern is that if we don't start the crop they are also going to lose when they have already signed an agreement and so Mr. Marin, his task was to able to make sure that we could keep things calm, keep things going, keep it moving but in this instance what we did now is at the end of the day the Minister responsible for the sugar industry is Abe Mai, that has never changed and so now that we are reaching at an impasse Cabinet has asked Minister to Mai to sit with both of them and try to hammer out an agreement for mediation."
