Minister of Agriculture, Indar Weir, says Portvale Sugar Factory, which has been out of operation for over a week, should back up and running by weekend.
And, he dismisses suggestions that the breakdown constitutes a crisis.
The boiler issues at Barbados’ lone sugar factory halted this year’s sugar harvest.
Mr. Weir addressed the matter on VOB’s Down to Brass Tacks call-in program today.
