The main sugar union, GAWU yesterday said that more recent information has shown that the industry’s second crop output will be worse than expected with only Uitvlugt meeting its target.
The union noted that in a statement on October 25 it had estimated that production until week-ending December 20 would see GuySuCo producing 67,653 tonnes sugar out of a 75,843-tonne target. At that time, the union said that it expected that Albion, Blairmont and Uitvlugt would have produced 34,187, 20,450 and 13,016 tonnes sugar respectively. However, in its statement yesterday, GAWU said that recent performances have caused it to review its estimates.
