Chinese Supermarkets are Taking Over Guyana

Chinese supermarkets are taking over Guyana. A table counting the number of Chinese supermarkets vs local supermarkets in areas across Guyana. The table revealed that Chinese supermarkets outnumbered local supermarkets in almost every area. Some people think that any Chinese success should be celebrated as Guyanese success because they assume that the Chinese immigrants are Guyanese people by default. Others are alarmed at the rapidly growing market share of the Chinese supermarkets, driving local corner shops out of business.

I personally don't find the Chinese supermarket cheaper, however they have diversity of product, it's almost like a mini mall where you can get from tools to seasoning and not to mention their opening hours are mostly extended as well as they open every single day regardless of holidays. They are also closely knitted community that works together to succeed. We Guyanese like to infight each other when it comes to business and the Chinese sees that as an opportunity to capitalize. Another thing I've learnt recently is that I know of a person with an empty land that can't afford to build so he's inviting some Chinese to build his house and use the downstairs as a supermarket and he lives upstairs. Obviously, he gets a free house while the Chinese use the place as long as the cost of constructions allows them. So that's why you see new Chinese supermarket popping in new low and middle income communities.

[@user-wb1ss8fd6f]

Some times Guyanese fall to adapt to the ways of the working world which is also a factor to consider

[@BottomHouseTV]

Well thought out comment. You made some fair points and observations. They open on those days because they know people still want to buy stuff. They have a chance to make money when everyone else is closed. Guyanese will indeed fight each other over working together. We see this happening too often.

The same way that we, Guyanese, spend our money with Chinese businesses. We must demand that Chinese people spend their money with Guyanese businesses. Our financial relationship should not be a one way street, it must be a two - way street. The Chinese Association in Guyana plays a crucial role in Chinese business success in Guyana because they help them to succeed. Also, the Chinese government play a role.

Couple of questions that we should asking in Guyana and as Guyanese are ( 1 ) Are Chinese businesses taking all the profit that they made in Guyana from Guyanese back to China or are they reinvesting some of that profit/money back with Guyanese people. ( 2 ) Are Chinese businesses bringing and selling to the Guyanese people inferior and low quality items and products that Guyanese are forced to buy with their hard earned wages, salaries and earnings. ( 3 ) Are Chinese businesses given preferential treatment to operate in Guyana more Guyanese owned businesses. Businesses supposed to invest their profit back into the country, community and people that they are earning and making the profit from. Also, it is the government of Guyana responsible to not allow inferior, low quality and detrimental products to come to Guyana and be sold to the Guyanese people.

[@briandeen5845]

Listen carefully the people have the choices not to buy from them and u will see how they the Chinese will pack up and leave so don't blame the government or the Chinese blame the people that buy from them

[@savitan100]

So very true i travel to many regions in this country and I've seen the effects of these Chinese supermarkets on our local shops many of them were forced to shut their doors down😢

[@rolandbeckles-lamazon5680]

I live in south. And since i left guyana and came back i notice 5 Chineses supermarket on the main road. Plus our local supermarket Andrews and Jonny p. And i was thinking that is it a situation where it is difficult for our people to get into this market because of the high capital investment? I always thought to myself that we seem to like being at the same level...we are contented with the minimum get by. A shop in the neighbourhood at the same level for 10, 20 years + and no indication of moving to the next stage. I cant blame the Chinese...for me its great having the options at my fingertips. One thing i would not is that when im shoping for groceries i go to Andrews supermarket, not because its guyanese owned but because the offering are more inline with what i prefer and theirs more variety. These chinese supermarket i find cram everything under the sun and for this reason i find that the ofering are limited. I do buy from the Chinese when im in a hurry simply because i have 2 of them a street away on both sides of my house. Build a supermarket of considerable size that have variety and everyone will come, because its more likely you have what i want. The last thing i need to see is nails after the freezer sections isle.

[@BottomHouseTV]

Fair points here. Capital investment is definitely a deterrent for Guyanese. Location, convenience and variety are three huge reasons why they're successful.

This is all new to this generation, I lived half my life in Guyana,from birth to about 32 years, Chinese immigrants always existed,they owned the supermarkets,( Kwang Hing) forgive me if I spelled that incorrectly, at the corner of Regent and Camp Streets,also many classy restaurants,also many laundry,they give jobs to many Guyanese and marry many Guyanese, men and women,they are many Guyanese who are of mixed race. Why not talk with your parents or grandparents they will give you more information about this subject.

[@BottomHouseTV]

At no point in the video was the widespread existence of Chinese businesses considered a new phenomenon. The proliferation of these supermarkets, however, is a recent phenomenon. "Chinese immigrants always existed" and lumping in unrelated matters is fallacious and dismissive. A distinction was made between the descendants of indentured Chinese and migrant Chinese nationals. If that wasn't clear, then maybe "this" should be left to this generation, who is still here.

[@john.a.gonsalves3731]

Interesting and yes it is everywhere, as a West Indian we always had Chinese and just about every other culture living in the Caribbean, Central and South America, the New Chinese is for sure different are not the same and everywhere they live they are doing the same- So unless your Government hold them responsible they will get away with it, several have been charged and deported from other country and yes the Chinese Government do not like any of their citizens bringing bad media, so shout it out loud to your Government and bring awareness to the issues.....

[@azlan6971]

This a truly a factual piece. But as you say the analysis can be deeper. The Chinese modus operandi has been to approach the local bottom house shops, offer a very decent rent and simply take over the shop. This has been done throughout the country and has been rampant on the west coast of Demerara. The rent offered is way more than those shops would make. For a roadside property, the Chinese will pay 500k-1,000,000 for a modest bottom house. Extend and renovate it and then operate. Hence a contributing reason to the decline of local village shops. I think it’s simply capitalism at its best. Can’t really blame the locals for renting as many of them don’t have the means of upscaling. Anyway, apparently there is more to it including the issue of escaping taxes.

[@BottomHouseTV]

It's smart business, as I said in the video. The consumer and even local business people do not understand, nor are they prepared for this type of competition. Thanks for sharing your thoughts. It seems this will have to become a series.

Here in Jamaica its the same phenomenon occurring. The root of this lies in our government policies or lack there of...China has been weaving its way across the globe giving out cheap loans to countries like Jamaica hence compromising governments in ways such as immigration policies towards their nationals, tax issues and the like causing ordinary Jamaicans to feel marginalized in many ways because of its lax business policies toward the Chinese merchants. Interestingly unlike Guyana they almost always set up "Shop" in the low income areas and rural areas in Jamaica, I don't think I have ever seen one in an affluent area here.

Chinese supermarkets have Geo location pricing as opposed to the others. A Chinese supermarket near a middle class location will be more expensive than one in a poorer locations. Also the standardised layout among them makes them user friendly. They are willing to take risk and invest in locations that other local businesses that would scare other investors. Survival does offer other incentives that makes them popular.

The Chinese from time gone by have always controlled the "Salt goods" and groceries in Guyana. Also, the reason why they could sell cheapest is because as a clandestine people, the Chinese Association imports wholesale and then distribute to their peeps. Other salt goods shops had to buy from Weiting and Richter, J.P Santos and a few others. So, nothing new that the Chinese control the market share.

@@BottomHouseTV , buddy, I am not stupid and slow, you are. The Chinese people saw an opportunity and brought their money to Guyana and invest in a free market system. What is wrong with that? And why are you hurtling insults at these people? Who is stopping Guyanese from making these same investments? Didn't you left Guyana and went to America for an opportunity to better your life and took away a job from some American? Do sah nah like sah. And what did you bring to America? Nothing but your ass and a pint of piss!

well that is capitalism, the Chinese merchants are going all over the World selling their cheap commodities, hopefully they do not put too many small businesses out of business

[@BottomHouseTV]

It's capitalism, that's exactly what I said. However, the market isn't a "free market."

[@majie1018]

Why make a mountain out of a molehill? Rather than complaining, use your channel to encourage your ppl to open supermarkets next to theirs? Increase the competition. And then see who will survive? The Chinese has got survival down to a science, man! Also, most Chinese are self employed. You should do a head count of how many of them are employed in the public sector other than your ppl. Good luck.

[@BottomHouseTV]

Reread the definition of "complain." Rather than using your comment to be obtuse, you can go be a cheerleader elsewhere. The pied piper needs some more band members.
