Dear Editor,
In July the newspapers, in an item entitled, “Berbicians informed of ‘New GuySuCo’ plans for Rose Hall Estate”, GuySuCo’s Communication Officer Ms Audreyanna Thomas is reported, among other things, to have said; “that the New GuySuCo will include, the Plantation White, which will be evaluated to replace the low priced bulk raw sugar”. After reading the report, I did some research where I learnt that ‘Plantation White’ is a new form of white sugar which is produced in a non-traditional manner. My reading also advised me that Plantation White is not a product that has gained much traction since it is still lacks many characteristics to be considered as White Sugar in a contemporary sense.
Having obtained this much information, it is incomprehensible that GuySuCo is going along a path to possibly produce a product which is not accepted by the market. Furthermore, what is GuySuCo’s contingency should the new Skeldon owner set up a sugar refinery and produce true White Sugar? I recall the Indian investors who visited the Skeldon factory, according to the press, expressed the idea to have a refinery established there. It is disturbing for me Editor that GuySuCo which has so much opportunity for a secure future is just giving it away to foreigners who will take even more wealth from Guyanese.
