Dear Editor,
In recent times, companies such as Pepsi Cola have begun to add products in the USA that no longer contain corn syrup, but instead are made with good ole sugar. Keeping with consumer health trends, these products are also sold at a premium to their corn syrup products in the market place. Such supplier contracts are quite lucrative and if pursued could provide the much needed income to combat operational inefficiencies at the Guyana Sugar Corporation (GuySuCo).
In addition, the alcohol beverage market continues to be in need of bulk rum which also has an attractive margin at the operating margin line. This is yet another healthy market that offers contracts that could easily improve the profitability of GuySuCo via more profitable revenue streams.
Best regards,
Jamil Changlee
