This company has been in operation since 1913 and is 51% owned by the farmers in the region and 10% by the employees. The company was organized as an open joint-stock company in 1996. As in all sugar operations, the plant operates only at harvest times. For this plant, this amounted to a 2 ½ month season. Employment during this period was between 180 and 240.
The company refines beet sugar, which it packages in 50 kg. (110 lb.) bags. In 1997 they operated at 30% of capacity and their production was 7,000 tons. Output was down for a number of reasons, including the fact that the farmers’ yields were at 50% due to a lack of fertilizers.
The company produces the following:
- Sugar
- Molasses (Treacle)
- Sugar root pulp
Representatives of this company were selected to participate in the Marshall Plan, Fruit and Vegetable study tour to the USA in August 1998.
