Welcome to the proceedings of the 29th West Indies Sugar Technologists (WIST) Conference, 2008

The West Indies Sugar Technologists Conferences are organised under the auspices of the Sugar Association of the Caribbean and are held triennially in one of the region's sugar producing countries. They provide an opportunity for technologists from both field and factory to present scientific papers to their peers and the wider public and to discuss critical issues common to the sugar industries in the region.
