Guyana aims to become Caribbean sugar hub

Guyana’s President, Dr. Irfaan Ali, says the country could produce and supply all of the sugar demanded by the Caribbean within two years.

Dr Ali made the statement yesterday as he spoke at the opening ceremony of the Caribbean Investment Forum that is being held in Guyana. 

He expressed this optimism about the sugar sector as he told the gathering of investors, government officials, and other stakeholders that Guyana was not just banking on its nascent oil and gas sector and its newfound wealth.

Dr Ali said his government is modernising traditional and non-traditional sectors as part of plans to diversify and strengthen the local economy.
