Demerara Distillers Limited (DDL) has invested some $4 billion into its Tropical Orchard Products Company (TOPCO) expansion project, which will see its demand in 2020 for a total of nearly 2 million pounds of various fruit that local farmers are expected to supply.
The company last Tuesday provided a briefing on its progress during a tour for representatives of several relevant government ministries and agencies, including the Ministries of Agriculture, Finance and Education, along with the Guyana School of Agriculture (GSA), the Guyana Marketing Corporation (GMC), the National Agriculture Research and Extension Institute (NAREI), the University of Guyana (UG), the National Industrial and Commercial Investments Limited (NICIL) and the Carnegie School of Home Economics.
