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

Is the Swamp closing done? Maybe it needs someone more competent to run it.

Perhaps they are cronies. That would explain why they are not being punished or black listed. I was asked: So why are thousands of Guyanese currently trying to get into USA and Canada? I support Ali in his One Guyana moves. [ more ]

Who believes the Media? First, I was told that they ran out of money which indicates that the money was squandered. You probably know the rest or else you wouldn't have ask the question. [ more ]

IT's not propaganda. It's being exposed in the media. Why are the contractors not being penalized for their failures and shitty work? [ more ]

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 Government of Guyana has constructed over 180 bridges and 1651 KM of Roads.
There are 5 hydroelectric power plants that are being constructed or in the planning stage. They tapped into their abundant water source to create some energy magic.
There is a booming oil production that propels a double-digit growth rate for 2023 and 2024.
Ogle Airport is now an international one laying the groundwork for future development and connection of Georgetown to the interior and other West Indian Islands. There is also a helicopter runway, taxiway, and international port of entry, thus creating thousands of Jobs.
The exportation of agricultural products has doubled in the last 5 years.
This is only the tip of the iceberg.
Guyana is the place to live. It's time to go home, kids..

@ Ramakant-P, in 100 years, we will not be here. Health care is still a cause for concerns for seniors in Guyana. The well-being and quality of life of seniors seem not to be high priority for the current GOG. Berbice needs its own international airport. [ more ]

Things were worse under the PNC administration. Today it's a thousand times better. Guyana will be underwater by 2030. I agree but not by 2030. In 100 years half of America will be gone. Note that they can't control the outcome of their fires, hurricanes, and their viruses. Every country in the world can't control its crimes. [ more ]

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.
