Wales sugar estate to be closed –gov’t

Wales Sugar Estate is to be closed by next year the government announced yesterday, the first major decision it has taken on the beleaguered industry which has seen slumping production over the last decade and swingeing debt.

The statement yesterday by the Ministry of Agriculture on the closing came as a surprise since the Commission of Inquiry into the Guyana Sugar Corporation (GuySuCo) had not recommended the closure of any estate although Wales and Uitvlugt on the West Demerara were seen as the two most vulnerable

The unemployment rate, the poverty rate and the dissatisfaction rate is going to go up in Guyana.

Speaking to the workers and residents who turned out in large numbers yesterday at the Wales market square, Jagdeo said that the People’s Progressive Party (PPP) would not support the closure of the sugar industry. Wales employs 1,600 workers and many of them are likely to be out of a job at year-end.
