This is something I don't understand about Guyana. They sell their raw products to be processed overseas, where Guyanese jobs are lost.
There is a sugar process plant at Enmore, how effective is it ?
Bigger yet, they allow the Chinese to harvest the forest and send it overseas for processing, when processing plants in Guyana could create hundreds of jobs.
Decades ago, BC lumber was returning to BC from Japan, as processed wood. We bought shelves of BC wood, made in Japan.
Now most processing is done in BC, where it creates jobs.
Don't the Chinese company have a responsibility to build a processing plant in Guyana, that was an agreement years ago, why give them another two years to do so ?
In two years they can ship billions in hard wood overseas.
Tola you seem to be an intelligent person unlike the bajan singing jerk. The issue is that Guyana does not currently have the capability to produce raw sugar competitively with the rest of the world where modern techniques and equipment and economies of scale enable other sugar producing nations to produce the product at a much lower cost. Adding value to the product via packaging and so forth to compensate for inefficient production will not be the solution. You are merely kicking the can down the road.
