GAWU perturbed at sugar output, urges better management at GuySuCo

GAWU says the sugar industry ended the year with a paltry 47,011 tonnes – short of its target by 17,878 tonnes – a development the union expressed concern at while it called again for better management from GuySuCo.

Since the PPP/C entered office in August 2020, billions in subventions have been poured into the Guyana Sugar Corporation (GuySuCo) but critics have said that results have not been seen.

In an end-of-year wrap up yesterday, the Guyana Agricultural and General Workers Union (GAWU) said it remained “particularly disappointed and disturbed by the performance of the sugar industry in 2022”.
