Following reports in this newspaper regarding GuySuCo’s continued dismal performance and its projected below-target production this year, President Irfaan Ali has asked Minister of Agriculture, Zulfikar Mustapha, to provide a report on the industry.
“I was with the President a few days ago and he said to the Minister of Agriculture, directed him to meet with all the parties; the union, the management, and a number of other people who have an interest or knowledge of sugar, and to get a report back to him,” Vice President Bharrat Jagdeo yesterday told a press conference.
He said that he prefers to wait on that report but has received preliminary word about the reasons for the low performance.
