RE: RICE & SUGAR PRODUCTION UNDER THE PNC/AFC
* We all know rice production boomed during the PPP years---in 2014 a record 633,000 tons was produced.
* Sugar has struggled but the PPP was hoping to raise sugar production to 400,000 tons by 2020
QUESTION:
* Prime Minister Nagamootoo will be in charge of the Agriculture Ministry. Will rice farmers be motivated to keep producing in record numbers under the PNC/AFC ?
* How about sugar---will the industry be shuttered by the PNC/AFC ?
