The Guyana Sugar Corporation (GuySuCo) is aiming to produce over 50,000 tonnes of white sugar by the end of 2021 or early 2022, giving it the capacity to meet the demand of the local market and part of the regional market.
This was revealed during the ‘Partnership and Awareness Building Programme on Direct Consumption White Sugar’, an initiative held to more strategically engage key local and regional stakeholders, increase confidence in the regional sugar industry and promote its significance to economic, social and environmental development, locally and regionally, a GuySuCo release explained.
It was stated that the corporation, in collaboration with Belize Sugar Industries Limited (BSIL) and the Sugar Association of the Caribbean (SAC), commenced the joint work programme to engage critical stakeholders on both brown and white sugars, as well as related trade matters in the Caribbean region. An essential aspect of the collaboration is the protection of the local and regional sugar market and advancement and creation of additional market opportunities.
