Sugar in Guyana Agriculture (the article is crappier than I thought)
Introduction
The sugar industry is one of the oldest industries in Guyana and had a significant impact on the history of the country. When European settlers found that the climate was suitable for sugar production, large estates were established and slaves were brought to the island to perform agricultural labor. When slaves were emancipated, indentured servants from India made up the next wave of emigration. Descendants of these two groups make up the majority of the country's demographics. Indentured laborers were far more likely to be granted land as form of payment than former slaves, leading Indo-Guyanese to dominate contemporary agriculture.[2]
Sugar has important affiliated products, molasses (a by-product of refining sugar) and rum (made from fermented molasses or cane-juice) that are also significant export products.
When Guyana became independent from Britain, all major industries were nationalized and thus GuySuCo was formed.
