GEORGETOWN, Guyana, Dec 11 2015 – With the second crop production tallying 143, 184 tonnes as of today, and a year- to- date total of 224,327 tonnes, the Guyana Sugar Corporation (GuySuCo) is more than likely to achieve its 2015 target within the next few days.
The corporation had set its target at 227, 443 tonnes, and is just over 3,000 tonnes away from achieving it. The last time the corporation achieved a second crop target was in 2004.
The company’s Chief Executive Officer, Mr Errol Hanoman had earlier said that GuySuCo could likely surpass its target as well by at least 6,000 tonnes. With three estates operating, there is the likelihood of this occurring. Two Berbice estates, Albion and Rosehall, and Enmore are expected to continue operations until December 21.
The new crop is expected to begin by the end of January, 2016, Hanoman said. During the out-of-crop period, maintenance will be done on all the estates.
