Sorry Guyana has too small and unskilled a population to sustain this without high import barriers. Why would any one locate in Guyana with an export market in mind when other place soffer more.

There are however other opportunities that teh PPP fails to tap. They boast of raw oranges and coconuts being sold to Trini manufacturers...when it would be more appropriate to encourage the Trinis tos et up in Guyana. Cheaper labor, cheaper raw materials, only energy is higher.

Dont know why you all sniff at value added agriculture. After all thats whats getting Brazil rich, plus mineral resources.
