“Shake-up” of GuySuCo a step in the right direction

Jan 14, 2025 Letters

Dear Editor

The recent announcement of a management shake-up at the Guyana Sugar Corporation (GuySuCo) signals a pivotal step toward revitalising the nation’s sugar industry. Agriculture Minister Zulfikar Mustapha has indicated that, starting in 2025, certain managers will be reassigned or relieved of their duties to enhance operational efficiency across various estates.

This strategic move comes in response to a challenging year marked by subpar production levels, attributed to factors such as extended droughts and operational inefficiencies. The government’s proactive approach, including the engagement of technical experts from India and Cuba, underscores its commitment to addressing these challenges head-on.

President Dr. Irfaan Ali has set clear expectations, emphasising that “heads will roll” if production targets are not met in the coming year. This decisive stance reflects the administration’s dedication to holding management accountable and ensuring that GuySuCo meets its goal of producing no less than 100,000 tonnes of sugar in 2025.

The planned management restructuring is anticipated to bring a fresh perspective and renewed vigor to GuySuCo’s operations. By aligning managerial roles with individual strengths and expertise, the corporation aims to foster a more dynamic and responsive organizational culture. This initiative is expected to enhance decision-making processes, improve field and factory operations, and ultimately lead to increased productivity.

Moreover, the government’s investment in technical assistance from international experts signifies a commitment to adopting best practices and innovative solutions tailored to Guyana’s unique agricultural landscape. This collaborative effort is poised to address longstanding issues within the sugar industry, paving the way for sustainable growth and profitability.

In conclusion, the forthcoming management shake-up at GuySuCo represents a critical and commendable effort to rejuvenate Guyana’s sugar industry. By prioritizing accountability, efficiency, and international collaboration, this initiative lays a solid foundation for achieving and potentially surpassing the ambitious production targets set for 2025. The nation’s sugar industry stands on the cusp of a transformative era, with the potential to contribute significantly to Guyana’s economic development and agricultural prosperity.

Sincerely

Anand Ragnauth
