No one knows how the amount was reduced to US$11M or US$3Million. This scandal is worst than the PSA US$18Million bonus.

Guyana: An Emerging Global Retail Hub (therobinreport.com)
Note: This is part one of an ongoing series on emerging retail economies.
Just off the North Coast of South America, tucked in between Venezuela, Brazil, and Surinam, lies Guyana, a former English colony. Although its capital, Georgetown, has a decidedly laid-back Caribbean vibe â it wonât take a first-time visitor more than a few minutes in the country to realize that this is a nation of contrast and symbiosis. Its people are a melting pot of East Indian, Afro-Guyanese, Amerindian and European, and its music, cuisine, and culture reflect these vectors of global influence. But whatâs also readily apparent to a first-time visitor is growth. Construction sites are everywhere. Shiny, new buildings are going up on almost every corner. Expats from Europe, Brazil, and Latin America, as well as East Asia, fill the local cafÃĐs, restaurants, and lobbies of the new hotels that have been built to serve them. Something is up in Guyana, and itâs something retail executives from around the world should have their eyes on. This small country that few Americans could find on a world map is about to emerge as one of the most important places on the global business landscape.

The worldâs most expensive coffee, made from poop of civet cat, is made in India
India, Asiaâs third-largest producer and exporter of coffee, has started producing the worldâs most expensive coffee, made from the poop of civet cat, on a small scale in Coorg district of Karnataka.
India, Asiaâs third-largest producer and exporter of coffee, has started producing the worldâs most expensive coffee, made from the poop of civet cat, on a small scale in Coorg district of Karnataka.

The Civet coffee, also called as Luwark coffee, is expensive because of uncommon method of producing such a coffee. It is produced from the coffee beans digested by civet cat. The feces of this cat are collected, processed and sold.
It is highly priced because it is claimed to be more nutritious and high cost involved in sourcing the animal dropping, wastage during processing and quality certification.
Civet coffee, a drink of elite consumed widely in the Gulf nations and Europe, is sold for Rs 20,000-25,000/kg abroad.

Here in the countryâs largest coffee-growing Karnataka state, a start-up firm, Coorg Consolidated Commodities (CCC), has made a humble beginning of making the luxury coffee on a small scale and has also decided to open a cafe to serve the brew locally.
âInitially, 20 kg of civet coffee was produced. After establishing the start-up firm, 60 kg was produced in 2015-16 and 200 kg last year. We hope half a tonne production from the new crop to be harvested from October,â Narendra Hebbar, one of the founders of CCC, told PTI.
The exotic coffee is being sold locally under the brand âAinmaneâ, he said that the company has only one outlet at Club Mahindra Madikeri Resort where it sells locally produced coffee, spices and other products.
Hebbar also shared that the company sources the animal poop from plantations located close to forest from where civet cats come to eat the ripest coffee bean cherries.
âCivet cat eats flesh of the coffee cherries and not the bean. Natural enzymes in civetâs stomach enhances the bean flavour and thatâs why this coffee is unique,â he said.
Now, farmers are understanding the importance of this coffee and âwe produce it in natural form unlike other countries where civet cats are caged and forcefully fed with coffee beans,â he noted.

It is being sold at Rs 8,000 per kg here, while it is available at Rs 20,000-25,000 per kg overseas, he said.
Asked if the company plans to export, Hebbar said it is not viable to export in view of high certification cost given the current low production levels.
âWe want to promote this coffee locally. We will open a cafe soon. We will sell âCoorg Luwark Coffeeâ along with other varieties like Cappuccino and Expresso,â he said.
A senior Coffee Board official also confirmed that civet cat coffee is being produced in small quantities in parts of Coorg and Chamarajnagar districts.
âIt is very small quantity, done by individuals. They produce and market as a speciality coffee, a niche product which is very expensive,â he said.
