# Illovo Sugar South Africa says delays in implementing a revised Dollar-Based Reference Price for imported sugar are placing the local industry under growing pressure. The proposed reference price would increase from ten-thousand-838 to 14-thousand-425 a tonne. Illovo says rising imports have hurt growers and millers, while threatening jobs and rural livelihoods. The company is calling on the government to urgently gazette the revised measure and consider interim safeguards.
