Berbice sugar estates surpass weekly production target

The Guyana Sugar Corporation (GuySuCo) yesterday announced that the Albion/Port Mourant Estate and Blairmont Estate surpassed their weekly production target during the week ending July 29, 2023, by 12%.

A release from GuySuCo said that the  2nd Crop of 2023 is in its second week of production and it is reassuring that the respective teams on the estates have harnessed a number of strategies to boost the turnout and realise the potential of the new equipment bought by the Government of Guyana since December 2020.

These operational interventions, coupled with good weather played a major role in allowing the two estates to surpass their weekly target. Workers at those Estates will secure additional remuneration with the weekly performance incentive.  The second crop target was not provided in the release.
