With the sugar industry seeing an improvement in workers’ attendance over the past few months, the Guyana Sugar Corporation (GuySuCo) is on track to hit its production target for the second crop.
In an interview with Stabroek News on Wednesday, GuySuCo’s Public Relations Officer Audreyanna Thomas said that to date, they have produced 16,809 tonnes of sugar from the second crop, which started in July, with a target of 124,844 tonnes.
While the target for the first crop was 49,606 tonnes, Thomas related that they were not able to achieve it, since in the earlier part of the year, the company was plagued with the issues of poor workers’ turnout and several strikes.
