Things not to do with the sugar industry
Dear Editor,
GUYSUCO is not only a productive but financially viable industry. I know what to do and can do if given the chance.
Firstly, the following needs to be done: –
1. Reduce the cost of production by getting rid of all indirect charges and decrease other charges.
2. Add value to sugar by producing value-added products apart from those they have currently.
3. Add new crops that can be integrated with sugarcane.
Things not to do: –
1. Diversify, instead integrate.
2. Downsize, instead increase acreage.
3. Sell bulk sugar, package and process.
I am willing to help if called upon to do so.
Peter Khatoo,
Agriculturist
