In the wake of frequent breakdowns at the Uitvlugt Sugar Estate factory, GuySuCo has embarked on a major rehabilitation programme which aims to increase its efficiency and improve production in the first crop of this year.
The first crop is scheduled to commence by mid-February with a target of 9,000 tonnes, the estate’s factory manager Brian Canterbury said yesterday, and employees are working assiduously to meet the deadlines before the commencement of the crop.
With an expansive rehabilitation programme planned, it was explained that some of the works will be staggered and completed during the out-of-production season.
