As part of its efforts at modernising the sugar industry with the use of e-smart agricultural initiatives, the Guyana Sugar Corporation (GuySuCo) has embarked on an evaluation of the use of drone technology while also aiming to attract youths to the industry.

In a release yesterday, the corporation disclosed that this latest development is intended to advance the efficiency and cost-effectiveness of its operations “in the wake of the numerous challenges as a result of the rapid labour force attrition, climate and demographical changes the industry is experiencing currently.”
