Sugarcane

Sugarcane harvest begins

Harvesting started on Monday, May 22nd, and will continue until October or November, depending on how much cane is in the fields.

Acting general manager, Eric Wise, said they normally start harvesting in early May but were delayed due to issues with foreign exchange and the shipment of items.

“With foreign exchange, we managed to work with BSP and got our critical items in. So we have assembled the plant, we’ve tested the plant so it’s ready to go, tested the machineries so all ready to go,” Wise stated.
