There should be a clarification in this matter
Dear Editor,
Your article captioned “Gold production increases by 104 percent in four months –Finance Minister” that was published in your July 14 edition caught my attention particularly on the part where the Finance Minister related to GuySuCo’s drop in the 1st crop 2016 sugar production. It’s quoted in the article where the Minister said “The fall in production for the first crop (2016) resulted principally from the El Nino phenomenon which reduced the sucrose content of the sugar cane.” Editor, unless affected by other environmental conditions or pests, the converse happens to the secretion of sugar by the sugar cane plant in dry weather as is evident under El Nino weather conditions. Dry weather enhances sucrose content of the sugar cane plant. Editor, either it’s an error or ignorance by your reporter or the Minister, but whosoever is responsible for the misrepresentation, it should be corrected.
