The Guyana Sugar Corporation [GuySuCo] has produced a total of 49,606 tonnes of sugar for the first crop in 2017, out of a production target 74,172 that it had set.

The corporation fell below its target with a difference of some 24,566 tonnes, another disastrous performance. Stabroek News has seen figures up to week-ending June 2 but it is not clear if the crop had ended at all of the estates up to that time. The target for the second crop is 124,844.
