| 104. | A mill and a grower may enter into a contract (commonly called a “cane supply agreement”) in terms of which— |
| (a) | such grower will be obliged to grow cane on such grower’s land; |
| (b) | for a period, such grower will be obliged to deliver such cane to such mill and such mill will be obliged to accept such deliveries; and |
| (c) | the mill and the grower concerned agree to ancillary contractual terms which are not in conflict with the terms of this agreement. |
| 105. | Cane supply agreements in existence when this agreement comes into operation, shall be suspended during the subsistence of this agreement insofar as they are in conflict with the provisions of this agreement, but otherwise they shall remain in force: Provided that references in any such existing cane supply agreement to sucrose or sucrose in cane shall be construed as references to recoverable value. |
| 106. | If a grower who is not contracted to deliver cane to the relevant mill, submits a cane delivery estimate to a Mill Group Board and such estimate is included, in whole or in part, in the Mill Group Board’s delivery allocations for the year concerned, such grower and the mill concerned shall be deemed to have entered into a contract for the supply of that mass of cane referred to in such grower’s initial estimate to the extent included in such delivery allocations, as it may be amended from time to time, for the year concerned. If a group estimate by several such growers is submitted and included in the delivery allocations, each of those several growers shall be deemed to have so entered into such a contract with the mill concerned in relation to his or her respective share of the group estimate. |
