GuySuCo slashes projected annual output

The Blairmont estate began grinding for the second crop on July 14.

In the wake of debilitating flooding, the Guyana Sugar Corporation (GuySuCo) has slashed its projected annual output and the entire Albion estate cultivation remains inundated.

GuySuco is, however, assuring that despite setbacks caused by the flooding, the sugar supply for the local market remains secure.

“The sugar supply is secure for Guyana. There is no shortage of sugar in Guyana. GuySuCo is delivering 5,000 bags of sugar and 2,000 bales of packet sugar every week to the market and we will continue to do that. We have enough sugar to take us to the end of July and since production has started a new stock of sugar is being generated. We have enough sugar for the local market,” GuySuCo’s Chief Executive Officer (CEO) Sasenarine Singh has assured.
