Ethanol Plant Plans
by Serafina Silaitoga (Fiji Times) Government will build an ethanol plant at Rakiraki instead of another sugar mill. The ethanol plant, Sugar Minister Charan Jeath Singh said would generate income for Fiji Sugar Corporation.
This income, he said would become a company profit, allowing FSC to get rid of years of relying on Government for loan.
“The plant in Rakiraki will make ethanol and this plan has come up after we visited India and saw how all sugar mills there make ethanol,” he said.
