Santander Sugar Mill in Cayo | Cayo Scoop!  The Ecology of Cayo Culture | Scoop.it

A sugar mill will soon come online here in Cayo.  Santander, who currently employs close to 600 Belizeans, is building a state of the art mill.  They also plan to use bagasse to create energy for the area.  Ambergris Today did a great job on this story. 


"Santander began working on their investment to construct and operate a new sugar mill in Belize back in 2008.  The investment group has brought with them over 50 years of experience in the sugar industry that includes sustainable and efficient methods.  Today the construction of the mill, located on a 20,000 acre property in the Cayo District, is well underway with less than a year away from their first milling season.
