Minister of Agriculture Zulfikar Mustapha on Saturday acknowledged that the recently reopened Rose Hall factory has experienced problems but he is optimistic that it will attain fully capacity.
He made the remarks on the sidelines of the commissioning of a model farm at Fort Wellington, the Department of Public Information (DPI) said.
Mustapha’s remarks followed statements by shadow minister of agriculture Vinceroy Jordan that the recently reopened factory was experiencing major problems.
“We have seen a number of punts of canes being crushed at Rose Hall. To date, they have produced just over 130 tonnes of sugar,” Mustapha said on Saturday, according to DPI.
