[@halfhundredman4352]

Well said brother. This is why I would like to see the old people who set up this project for the future generations should be getting a little more money now that Guyana has money instead of focusing on the young children future. The young children future looks bright. Just saying

Hi Neil. Nice to see you crisscrossed Guyana and highlight the various communities. Perhaps you can visit the farmers of Black Bush Polder please. Very diverse models of farming ranges from rice vegetables and cattle. Many thanks.

[@BantuKing]

Can you do a presentation on why the sugar industry is struggling to stay competitive, and remains profitless to this day? Why don't the farmers build access roads that can take them to and from the Farms? Our farmers should utilize the young minds coming out of UG to help in marketing and managing the farm,and produce. This is the 21st century and we need to upgrade our processes in order to make this industry more viable, and profitable. Thanks for the information.

[@mmookram]

Now why would they do that?

[@BantuKing]

@@mmookram which question are you replying to?

[@mmookram]

@@BantuKing on why its struggling to stay competitive. Unfortunately its being used as a political motive for all parties. This video alone proves it can be viable.

[@BantuKing]

@@mmookram As far as I can see it’s only one political party that is abusing its work force for political reasons. The sugar industry needs to be mechanized from land preparation to harvest. The heavy dependency on manual labor is why it’s not viable in today’s market. Only in Guyana does a worker demand salary increases without merit. The industry has been in the RED for over 3 decades and this government continues to babysit their political base and ignore the rest of the country that needs infrastructure development.

Sugar and Rum......perfect ingredients for an enslaved society. 😪

@Benny Blanco Sugar and Rum , . . . . - Better than none. (Try to be nice, Mr Blanco).

He was born and raised on a farm, and still walking for miles to get to the farm. That's not progress. We need to step up our farming game or we will loose our farms to cheap imports. Now that would be devastating.
