The Guyana Sugar Corporation (GuySuCo) has recommended the closure of sugar estates in regions 4 and 6 and the possible sale of at least one estate to a private investor, according to PPP General Secretary Clement Rohee, who said the opposition remains opposed to any plans to close, sell or privatise any estates.
The recommendations were shared at a meeting held between the APNU+AFC government and stakeholders, including the opposition and workers’ unions, last Saturday to determine a way forward for the beleaguered sugar industry.
