The Albion/Port Mourant estate has surpassed its weekly production target for the second consecutive week, GuySuCo disclosed in a statement yesterday afternoon – allowing workers to benefit from a tax-free extra day’s pay.
“The Albion/Port Mourant Estate has again surpassed its sugar production target for the week ending August 27, 2022. This is the second consecutive weekly target achieved by this estate, exceeding its last target by 2%. As a result of this achievement, qualified employees who worked 80% or more days available for that week will benefit from an additional tax-free day’s pay.”
Albion Estate Manager (Ag), Balraj Dhanraj, explained, “The estate has met all of the operating parameters and the tonnes cane to tonnes sugar ratio (Tc/Ts) for the week is 11.46 versus the budgeted 12.8 Tc/Ts. This is considered a plus for the estate in achieving the target, since we are utilizing less cane to produce more sugar.”
Dhanraj added that despite three days of inclement weather in the past week, “workers’ motivation remained high after the previous week’s achievement of 13.5%.”
GuySuCo congratulated the management and workers of Albion/Port Mourant on “their success” and urged “all the estates to continue striving to surpass their weekly production targets,” the statement added.
