Albion/Port Mourant Estate again surpasses weekly production target

Dear Editor,
The Guyana Sugar Corporation (GuySuCo) is pleased to announce that the Albion/Port Mourant Estate has again surpassed its sugar production target for the week ending October 15, 2022. The Estate has made a record by successfully achieving its weekly target by 2.1%, making it the fifth time for the second crop.
Factory Manager (ag) Mohammed Sheriff said the achievement was possible due to the factory time efficiency of 97 percent, against a budget of 93 percent, and minimal downtime of 2.5 hours for the week. Also contributing to this achievement is the cane quality, with Pol extraction of 10 percent versus 9.87 percent budgeted, resulting in an improved Tonnes Cane to Tonnes Sugar (Tc/Ts) ratio of
eleven percent versus the budgeted 13 percent.
Qualified workers who worked 80 percent or more days available for that week will continue to benefit from the weekly production incentive scheme, which allows tax-free incentives when an estate has achieved its weekly production target.
The Executive Management congratulates the management and workers of Albion/Port Mourant Estate, and urges all of the grinding estates to strive towards the achievement of the weekly production incentive.
Management also implores workers to remain focused and committed to achieving their weekly targets.

Sincerely,
Guyana Sugar
Corporation
