GAWU projects 43-year low in sugar output

GAWU on Friday said that sugar production this year will not reach 100,000 tonnes and will be the lowest production of GuySuCo in its now 43-year history.

At a press conference, the Guyana Agricultural and General Workers Union (GAWU) said that when it checked its  records which go back to 1940, it is the lowest production ever. GuySuCo has not been issuing regular bulletins on production figures.

GAWU pointed out that during the year it had expressed concern about the level of production.
