Despite low attendance, GuySuCo says on target for second crop

Despite low attendance at the estates across the country, the Guyana Sugar Corporation (GuySuCo) says it is on the track to achieve its second crop target, but is still imploring workers to focus on their tasks.

Speaking to Stabroek News recently, Public Relations Officer (PRO) of the sugar company, Audreyanna Thomas, explained that despite producing 68,139 tonnes of sugar as of the end of October for its second crop, the industry attendance has been only 57%.

While the first crop this year was 49,606 tonnes of sugar, it was well below its target of 74,172 tonnes.
