Bridgetown.
Investment is what the sugar industry need to move to the next level,says James Paul the chief executive officer of the Barbados
Agricultural Society.
Paul told Trakker News that if the sugar industry is to be developed it is imperative that the stakeholders including the Goverment, recognise that it cannot be business as usual and start to identify other possibilities that exist outside of the
traditional use of the sugar cane.
"I strongly believe that there are more products that can be produced from sugar cane but investment is the key, we have put money into sugar in the past and we should continue to do so, but it cannot be business as usual", Paul said.
"If the same managers are in charge of the industry and there are no new ideals then we will go nowhere Paul added.

Caroni got driven out due to high labor costs and it was running a loss for a long time…the losses were tremendous. I don’t think Guyana would face the same fate.
