Cane salvaged from floods delivering poor yields to GuySuCo

Sugar cane that was waterlogged for weeks earlier this year has resulted in the production of a lower quality of sugar at the Guyana Sugar Corporation (GuySuCo).

With more than 30% of the sugar cane destroyed from the mid-year flooding, GuySuCo continues to reel from the impact as it is unable to produce the highest quality of sugar.

Sugar cane that was waterlogged for more than 65 days has resulted in poor yields.
