Reopening of Rose Hall Estate a welcome step

Sep 19, 2023 Letters

Dear Editor,

The reopening of the Rose Hall sugar estate is indeed welcome news. The closure of the estate by the previous APNU+AFC administration has had a depressing impact on residents of that community, the majority of whom had depended on the estate for their living.

The reopening of the estate has now resulted in the infusion of fresh air and a renewal of hope for a more secure livlihood for residents in that community. As someone who once worked at the Rose Hall estate, I am aware of the importance of the estate, both in terms of employment opportunities and its impact on the business community.

The closure of the estate affected the community adversely, both economically and socially. As to why the previous administration would have taken a decision to close grinding sugar estates is at best puzzling, especially when seen against the historical, cultural and sociological implications of sugar on the economy and more particularly on the lives of sugar workers.

I commend the PPP/C administration for reopening the Rose Hall Estate which at one time was ranked among the best in terms of sucrose quality.

Sincerely,

Hydar Ally
