The sugar union GAWU on Wednesday told a visiting team from the International Monetary Fund (IMF) that decisions by the APNU+AFC government to miniaturise the sugar industry were made without any studies being done on the impact of this.
In a release on Thursday, the Guyana Agricultural and General Workers Union (GAWU) said it engaged at its Kingston HQ with a team from the IMF which is here for routine Article IV consultations where they assess the country’s economic situation.
GAWU said that the IMF team was keen to hear about its views on developments in the sugar industry where over the last two years four estates have been shut and sugar production has fallen precipitously.
