Bring back experienced retirees to save the sugar industry
DEAR EDITOR,
As a former President of NAACIE who has 45 years’ experience in factory operation, I fully endorse the Union’s call for a Commission of Inquiry on the sugar industry’s performance in Guyana. Mr. Joseph is right, the problem is in the fields and not so much in the factory, as sugar is made in the cane fields – the factory merely extracts the sugar from the cane by mechanical means.
What is noticeable is that the new board members do not know one iota about the manufacturing of sugar. If they do not know what the problem is, how can they give direction and advice?
I would suggest to bring back some of the retirees who have an outstanding record and experience in sugar cane cultivation. Their expertise is vitally needed at this time in an effort to save the industry.
Albert Persaud
