Hon. Derrick Kellier, is hailing Appleton Estate |
“Clearly, they have modernized the factory over the last
couple of years, brought in new equipment and seems to have made the plant a
more efficient and production-oriented operation. That will bode well for them
because if you want to be able to compete on a national and international
scale, you have to have high levels of productivity in your operation,” he
noted. Minister Kellier said the
practices being employed in the cane fields will encourage high levels of
productivity and the company will soon be reaping the benefits of its
innovations and investments. “In their
field operations, we have clearly seen where their agronomic practices are in
keeping with high levels of productivity and clearly, the gains that they have
made and practices that they have employed are paying dividends to them,” he
noted.
Minister Kellier said he is particularly pleased about
the waste-to-energy project, which has enabled Appleton to generate its own
energy and is having a positive impact on the environment. “This is something that ought to be
commended, because that, in itself, will help them to reduce cost to make them
more competitive,” he said. Minister
Kellier is encouraging the management of other sugar factories in Jamaica to
follow the lead of Appleton.

There seems to be a lot going on at the Appleton Estate these days with the improvements at the factories and the updating of their bottles and labels on the Appleton Estate Rums. This is a sign that the brand is doing well and looks to be getting stronger in the category. ;o)
