Rice farmers in Region Two are still owed close to $48 million in total by two leading millers in Region Two for paddy reaped crops ago.
The farmers raised the issue with Minister of Agriculture Zulfikar Mustapha at a meeting held Thursday afternoon at Anna Regina in the boardroom of the Regional State House.
According to the rice farmers, they are still awaiting word on their payments for their paddy, which they were told was shipped to Panama.
