-as part of mechanisation strategy
The Guyana Sugar Corporation (GuySuCo) is outsourcing the harvesting and delivery of cane to its factories as it moves towards more mechanisation, Chief Executive Officer, Paul Cheong says.
Sources also told the Stabroek News that the outsourcing to the private sector comes as field labour attrition rates continue to climb and there is a great “shortage of cane cutters at all of the estates.”
In an Expression of Interest in yesterday’s state-owned Guyana Chronicle newspapers, GuySuCo advertised for suitably qualified contractors to provide harvesting and delivery of sugar cane to its factories, through tender RFP FD 001-0025.
