The Sugar Association of the Caribbean (SAC) is moving its domicile from Trinidad and Tobago to Barbados, where it owns the West Indies Central Sugar Cane Breeding Station, SAC Chairman Mac McLachlan announced earlier today at the opening of the association’s 178th board meeting hosted by BESCO in St. Michael.
McLachlan said the move comes as regional refined white sugar production begins this month, meaning CARICOM demand will be met by regionally produced sugar for the first time in generations, with the four remaining producers (Barbados, Belize, Guyana and Jamaica) investing to expand. (DDS)
