The sugar industry has continued to perform poorly as the St. Kitts Sugar Manufacturing Corporation (SSMC), the sole producer and exporter of sugar, continued to take heavy losses. The government is currently considering various options for dealing with the problems facing the industry and has initiated a public consultation to seek the views of the populace, using a summary of a World Bank-funded study on the costs and benefits as background.
