1. In response to reftel seeking information on Guyana's
ability to ship its full allocation of sugar under the raw
sugar tariff rate quota for marketing year 2006, post
received the following reply from the Guyana Sugar
Corporation:

BEGIN TEXT: Thank you for your letter of June 8, 2006
relative to Guyana's allocation of sugar to the U.S. market.

We wish to advise that Guyana intends to ship its full
allocation of sugar to the U.S. for delivery by September
30, 2006.

We are unable, at this time, to confirm whether we can meet
any further quotas for the 2005/2006 year prior to September
30, 2006, should there be another quota increase
announcement by the USTR. Our crop commences at the end of
July and we would be in a better position to confirm our
position by that time.

Please, therefore, be guided accordingly.

Yours sincerely,
Guyana Sugar Corporation Inc.


M. Surujbally
(for) Nick Jackson
Chief Executive
