Government Scraps US$12.5M Enmore Packaging Plant To Build New One At Albion, Expand Another At Blairmont

• Chief Executive Officer (CEO) of the Guyana Sugar Corporation (GuySuCo), Sasenarine Singh revealed that the government is planning to build a new packaging plant at Albion along with the expansion of one at Blairmont for 2022. 
• The project is aimed at Guyana being able to sell sugar at a higher value and to ensure the country has enough capacity to produce packaged sugar products to meet the demands of the new international market. 
• The government has already made headway in opening new markets with GuySuCo successfully opening markets in Jamaica and Grenada. The company was also able to secure sugar sales for the first time to Germany. This new venture will lead to an increase in government revenues, exports, expansion of the sugar sector and overall economic growth.
