We’re proud to introduce Demerara Sugar Refinery (DSR) – a landmark partnership between Sucro, Caribbean Sugar Refinery (CSR) and GAICO, dedicated to bringing modern refining back to the banks of the Demerara. Sucro contributes world-class sugar trading and supply chain expertise, CSR brings proven regional refining know-how, and GAICO adds deep local engineering and construction capability in Guyana..
Sucro and Santander have joined forces to supply the Caribbean market with refined sugar. By pooling together their expertise, experience, and entrepreneurial spirit, Caribbean Sugar Refinery is poised to revitalize the industry from within.
Together, we are building a new refinery at Wales Estate that will significantly reduce Guyana’s and CARICOM’s reliance on imported refined sugar. By processing regional raws in-country and leveraging integrated logistics from Guyana into the wider Caribbean, DSR will shorten lead times, lower logistics risk and keep more value anchored in Guyanese communities.
This is the opportunity Guyana and the region have been waiting for.
It’s the return of Caribbean sugar, starting on the banks of the Demerara.
