Ashni,

Foreign owned hotels buy their food in bulk from Florida and have it shipped. Everything is shipped from wharehouses in Florida, furniture and all. Local fruits seldom served in big hotel chains. One will find pineapples, watermelon, cantelope, apples and graves ripened in storage. And spray with a wax to look appealing.

And any name brand hotel with Guynaese ownership has to purchase from their listed vendors.

The diaspora has the purchasing potential. Suh, Ashni yuh should be gearing up on transport, like now. Doan worry bout gas to shore, probably never happens wid Jagdeo controlling that development. Think of Skeldon.

Those Florida farmers are buying millions of dollars of equipment to work on their farms so that they do not have to hire farm labour.
