The Skeldon Estate

With the recommissioning of the Rose Hall Estate being the priority at the moment, Minister of Agriculture, Zulfikar Mustapha has given the assurance that the problematic Skeldon Estate will be reopened with the idea of sugar production being done on a smaller scale.

In its manifesto for the 2020 general elections. The PPP/C vowed to reopen three of the four estates shuttered by the APNU+AFC government – East Demerara, Rose Hall and Skeldon. It also announced a development plan for the former Wales estate where the factory had already been dismantled.

The Rose Hall Estate is expected to be recommissioned at the end of the month.
