Privatisation would allow for technical know-how in sugar industry – Granger

David Granger feels privatizing the sugar industry would offer private cane farmers an opportunity to boost production, and decrease state focus in an industry which requires people with technical expertise and entrepreneurial skills.

The industry’s dismal production over the years and edgy labour relations have impacted on the state of sugar in the country, Granger said recently. His plan to privatize the industry was revealed at the Guyana Manufacturing and Services Association (GMSA) business luncheon on Wednesday last.
