Update: 8:44PM THE European Union has trained more 1200 sugar industry workers business, trade and agriculture skills in a project worth Euro 4 million (approximately $F8.8m).
Facilitated by the Australia Pacific Technical College, the project was administered to people in the western and northern division.
