It has not been the PNC not able to produce sugar in a cost effective way. They have been there only a year and a half and it takes some 18 months for a sugar crop to reach maximum harvestable sucrose content. And it was not the production of cane but the fact the factory was under performing and also in efficient. The old albion plant produced a ton of sugar from 11 tons of cane. It takes 19 tons to do the same with this white elephant not to mention it is not the flawless energy efficient mill it was touted in its development literature.
He is a jackass via his clear incompetent actions as chairman of Guysuco and "presidential advisor". We have yet to see any of his "advice" to the president bear fruit. What qualified this jackass to be Guysuco Chairman other than a trophy position to compensate for his loyalty to the PNC?
A Harvard speaker he is not for sure, as there is no documented evidence that this backwater pseudo intellect would ever be invited there. But let us pretend that he did speak at Harvard, then he is in similar incompetent company with Snooki of Jersey shore who also was paid to appear at Harvard.
The fact remains that Skeldon now belongs to the PNC for 1 1/2 years and they have done zero to rectify its problems. The inefficiency is not solely attributed to the factory but through all phases of the sugar making process from its cultivation, harvesting, transport, heavy labor intensive maintenance etc.
You people don't want to do a deep dive into the issues that causes sugar to be unprofitable. Instead you take the superficial path of pointing fingers at a few issues.
He is the most prodigious writer on our sugar industry. I do not know what specifically you know of that is better than he said that makes you think you are superior. If experience with your bilge is anything instructive it is just your big mouth flapping again.
And yes he has has done many summer lecture tours at Harvard. If you complain on things not changing in one and a half years in the industry where was your insight when the PPP ran it backwards to 1973 production levels.
