GAWU Head, Komal Chand says that GuySuCo is not addressing one of its major problems –the quality of canes in the ground – even as the corporation now faces the task of producing at least 143,000 tonnes of sugar in its second crop to meet its key EU quota and the local market.
GuySuCo’s Chief Executive Officer, Paul Bhim told Stabroek News last week that currently the corporation was conducting cane estimates for all seven estates. He noted that going into the second crop of the year, GuySuCo had to ensure that enough cane was planted to produce the yield necessary to make the original second crop target of 170,000 tonnes.
