A third of the all-weather road linking the backlands of Wales, West Bank Demerara, to Uitvlugt, West Coast Demerara, in order to facilitate the smooth transportation of cane by private farmers has been completed.
This was disclosed by the Guyana Sugar Corporation’s (GuySuCo) Corporate Communica-tions Manager Audreyanna Thomas. GuySuCo’s Finance Director Paul Bhim had previously told Stabroek News that 60% of the farmers hail from Canal Number One Polder and their fields are closer to the Uitvlugt estate than to the Wales factory. He had said that the farmers preferred to move their cane there because it is easier to access.
Speaking to Stabroek News, Thomas related that they have started works on the road and out of 15 kilometres, approximately five was completed.
