…Guyanese to take over – Persaud

 

In two weeks’ time, Booker-Tate will no longer hold the responsibility for managing the implementation of the agricultural component of the Skeldon Sugar Modernisation Project, familiarly called the new Skeldon Factory.
This is according to Agriculture Minister Robert Persaud, who said that the current General Manager of the Skeldon Estate, Vishnu Panday, will lead the team replacing Booker-Tate.
Booker-Tate is a global institution that facilitates management and developmental services to the world of sugar, ethanol, bio-energy and other agribusiness projects.
The company is based in Thame, near Oxford in the UK, and has a subsidiary, PT Booker Tate Indonesia, based in Jakarta, Indonesia.
Booker-Tate was called in to manage GuySuCo in 1990. The management team was scheduled to stay on board at the Guyana Sugar Corporation for six months following the commissioning of the new Skeldon Sugar Factory, after which an international tender for management services was to have been advertised.
This has since changed following several high level discussions. Minister Persaud did not divulge the representatives at the discussions.
