Citrus Growers still haven't been paid. The Central Bank Board met yesterday to discuss the 5 million dollar loan from the Heritage Bank to the Citrus Products of Belize. Chairman John Mencias would not comment about it today, but the Citrus Growers association sent a release this afternoon saying, quote, "we have just been informed by CPBL that Heritage Bank is still waiting for 'approval from the Central Bank to release the remaining funds.'" And so, because of this CPBL still can't pay the growers but are holding out hope that they will be able to do so tomorrow. We'll let you know.
