Barbados has produced 96 000 tonnes of sugar for the 2025 sugar cane harvest including 6.8 million kilogrammes of molasses.
“This, of course, speaks to the fact that we have remained consistent in delivering sugar so that we can keep things sweet whilst we export the rum we produce,” said Agriculture Minister, Indar Weir, adding that this year’s crop yielded 3.8 million kilogrammes of sugar.
The announcement of this year’s sugar crop comes amid continued uncertainty about who controls the near four-centuries-old sugar industry, with Weir maintaining that the government is still in charge of the industry.
