The Guyana Sugar Corporation Inc (GuySuCo) yesterday said it is poised to achieve its production target for the year, 2018 of 103, 000 tonnes of sugar and that workers will get a bonus.
For the last few years, workers have not gotten an end of year bonus or a wage increase because of the dire state of the industry.
A press release from GuySuCo said that as of yesterday 100,485 tonnes of sugar has been produced for the year. This is in excess of 12,000 tonnes more than what was achieved for 2017, from the three estates – Albion, Blairmont and Uitvlugt.
