flag Guyana’s sugar output crashes to 15,000 tonnes in 2025 despite a $20M refinery project, due to political instability and staff dismissals.

flag Guyana’s GuySuCo faces challenges in 2025 despite a US$20 million white sugar refinery project in Wales, initiated under the previous APNU+AFC government and now advancing under President Irfaan Ali. flag Production has plummeted from over 100,000 tonnes in 2018 to just 15,000 tonnes in early 2025, raising concerns about raw sugar supply and funding. flag Critics highlight that ongoing political dismissals of qualified staff and shifting policies have undermined proven initiatives, including a sustainable business model and the Sustainable and Resilient Communities Programme, which previously boosted output and profitability. flag The refinery’s success depends on reliable supply, long-term CARICOM agreements, and partnerships with international firms to protect Guyana’s branded sugar identity and ensure market stability.
