The Board of Directors of the Guyana Sugar Corporation Inc. (GuySuCo) has approved as part of the Uitvlugt Estate Improvement Programme for interested cane farmers with the requisite capacity to be leased lands at Uitvlugt Estate.

According to a media release from GuySuCo yesterday, a significant percent of the canes that were milled at Wales Factory are closer to Uitvlugt Estate and will now be transported to and milled at Uitvlugt factory. Cane farmers who were further away from Uitvlugt Estate, who found it uneconomical to transport their canes to Uitvlugt factory are encouraged to apply to lease lands from Uitvlugt Estate.
