Sugar second crop target at 146,000 tonnes

The Guyana Sugar Corporation’s second crop will swing into full gear next week, when it is expected that all eight estates will be brought on board to reach the production target that was revised to a modest 146,000 tonnes.

The second crop figure will take the annual production target for 2015 well below what was originally floated by the corporation under the former Chief Executive Officer Rajendra Singh prior to the Interim Management Committee (IMC) being established by the new government after the May 11th
