The PPP was going to shut down Wales, and had already shut down other Demerara estates. Venezuela had already stated that they were going to switch to Uruguay as a source of rice, as they were cheaper.
The PPP failed to transform Guyana's economy by diversifying beyond sugar, and assisting the rice industry to be more competitive. Brazil is a huge importer of rice. How come Guyana doesn't sell to that country? Because we are NOT competitive!
Look at Venezuela, now collapsing to Haiti style poverty, and you think that they could afford to over pay for rice indefinitely? Venezuela now is where Guyana was in the early 80s.
Druggie you are an idiot, so you don't understand a simple concept. If one gov't leaves the country in a mess, its replacement cannot wave a magic wand and solve it.
