Guyana’s Sugar Industry: Six Key Performance Indicators

Indicators

Despite the unavailability of detailed audited GuySuCo accounts after 2009, in the coming weeks I shall focus on six performance indicators (production, costs, profitability, land productivity, factory productivity, and combined (land and factory) productivity) in assessing the sugar industry since 1990. I believe this period is sufficient for clear patterns to be revealed.

The time series on production reveal both trends and variations or fluctuations in output over time.
