Campari's 10-year courtship of Lascelles - New CEO talks priorities - Business - Jamaica Gleaner - Thursday | March 28, 2013:
Gruppo Campari's immediate €11 million expenditure on Lascelles deMercado, operations will largely be spent on the agricultural section of the business and to upgrade a facility in St Elizabeth for the disposal of the controversial effluent called dunder.
It's the first project to be undertaken by new owner Campari following its takeover of the business in December.
Newly appointed Chairman and Group Managing Director of Lascelles, Stefano Saccardi, said in an interview with the Financial Gleaner on Monday that the manner in which Appleton Estates currently disposes of dunder has come under scrutiny from the National Environment and Planning Agency (NEPA), prompting Campari to deal with the facility as a priority project.
Just over 13 years ago, in November 1999, Appleton Estates announced that it had found a solution to disposing of the dunder, which caused a furore among some residents and political representatives in St Elizabeth who said it was polluting the Black River, thereby affecting shrimp and fish production.
Then managing director of the Agricultural Division of Wray and Nephew, Robert Henriques, said that after extensive research, including advice from experts at the University of the West Indies, they have devised a method to use the dunder as fertiliser in the cultivation of sugar cane at Appleton.
