There is need for the Guyana Sugar Corporation (GuySuCo) to pay cognisance to the neglect that occurred in the sugar industry over the past few years,Cheap NFL Jerseys China, especially in the cane fields. President of the Guyana Agricultural & General Workers’ Union (GAWU), Komal Chand, made this disclosure recently even as he demanded that there be proper management of the industry to ensure that good quality cane can once again dominate the fields.“We must indicate our disappointment with the Booker-Tate Management of the industry and the termination of its management contract which we believe is justifiable and overdue,Addison Russell Cubs Jersey,” Chand emphasised.According to him the industry has the resources – field, factory and human – to produce over 300,000 tonnes of sugar per annum, adding that when the Skeldon Sugar Factory becomes fully operational more than 400,Mike Lowell Red Sox Jersey,000 tonnes per year could be possible.“With such a production level,Allen Craig Red Sox Jersey, the industry will once again occupy a commanding position in our economy and contribute even more to the well-being of its workers and to the Guyanese society as a whole,” Chand said.In reflecting on some of the shortcomings that prevented the operational capabilities of the sugar factory, the GAWU president recounted that “last year we said that this year GuySuCo will see its new state-of-the-art US$110M sugar factory in operation at Skeldon.”It was proposed by GuySuCo that the factory would have been capable of producing 110,David Price Red Sox Jersey,000 tonnes sugar per year at nine cents (US) per pound. With such a development, Chand said that it was anticipated that the sugar industry would become competitive, particularly in light of the 36 per cent cut in the price of sugar to the European Union.“The new factory did not come on stream until March this year due to the malfunctioning of a few components in the factory. The prophets of doom were once again proven wrong and GAWU welcomes the beginning of the factory’s operations.”However in order to realise the proposed targets, Chand said that the onus is now on GuySuCo and the private farmers at Skeldon to provide the factory with adequate cane in order to realise the targeted output.”And to address this situation,Wade Davis Cubs Jersey, he said that GAWU is urging GuySuCo to give focused attention to the question of cultivation.
