The Guyana Sugar Corporation (GuySuCo) yesterday confirmed that sugar production for 2019 had fallen below 100,000 tonnes and it acknowledged that there had been “major” mechanical failures at the Albion and Uitvlugt factories.
The sugar union GAWU had warned several times last year about the likely low sugar output and had also cited mechanical failures at factories as a major issue. The last time sugar production fell below 100,000 tonnes was in 1926.

Britain’s Telegraph newspaper has listed Guyana as the number one country to visit out of a list of 20 countries to visit this year.
“At a time when over tourism is becoming overbearing, remote, underrated Guyana is a rarity more precious than gold,” the article, based on the opinions of travels experts who were consulted, said.
It added that in a world so connected, it’s hard to imagine there are places still under the radar, “But Guyana, a tangled mass of pristine rainforest on South America’s north-eastern tip, is one of the few spots on scratch maps likely to have its shiny foil intact.”
