The Guyana Sugar Corporation Inc. (GuySuCo) yesterday said that its three estates – Albion, Blairmont and Uitvlugt- have been performing satisfactorily so far for the crop.
“Albion Estate has achieved and exceeded weekly production targets for five of its seven weeks of grinding while Blairmont Estate has achieved and exceeded two of its eight weeks’ target. Uitvlugt Estate has been grinding for six weeks and has achieved and surpassed one week’s production target.”
According to GuySuCo, the achievement of weekly production targets means that employees will be receiving Weekly Production Incentive (WPI) based on the number of weeks for which the targets were reached.
“Despite some challenges in the corporation, the management and staff on estates has remained focused and are working tirelessly towards achieving the target of 68,045 tonnes of sugar for the Second Crop.
Target per estates for the Second Crop are as follows: Uitvlugt – 10,780, Albion – 38,160 and Blairmont Estate – 19,105 tonnes of sugar.”
GuySuCo said that its management wishes to express its gratitude to all stakeholders; including the unions, residents, community groups and leaders, who have been supporting the estates and the corporation and to request that this support be continued throughout the rest of the crop.
The corporation has set a lowly target of 100,000 tonnes of sugar for this year.
