CARONI SUGAR REHAB.

closed

The Caroni Sugar Project consists of reestablishing over a period of five years the sugar estate Caroni Limited on a viable basis, by means of reequiping its factories, transport fleet, and harvesting and field equipment; in addition, funds would be provided for completing land preparation prior to the introduction of mechanical cane harvesting on those cane lands that lend themselves to full mechanization, and for undertaking three technical studies designed to improve operational and administrative efficiency. The project would reduce costs and improve efficiency, thus assuring a satisfactory return to the country's sugar industry, and to the largest employer of labor apart from the Government itself.
