For example, fruit juices are imported from T&T and Barbados. With all the fruit that can be grown locally, we are importing juices. Surely a local businessman can invest in fruit processing. Peter Ramsaroop had set up the facilities to do it a few years ago when he was anti-PPP but they sent their goons to burn down his facility. Fruit and vegetables are big business on the export market. It's time we look into what can be done to tap into these markets instead of relying so heavily on sugar.
An ordered and stuctured supply chain is necessary. My comment is not a racist one. Just to crush the fruit is not all. Chemicals needs to be added. Guyanese have a doankay damn attitude about work. Just imagine, dey poison the consumers.
Guyana is still a backward place. And there is nothing we can do about it. Basically, we are great at blaming eachother about racial intolerance.
