The PNC RIGH give their DUMB , STUPID supporters cassava Flour, we gun get real ones from Suriname.  Dummies plenty in the PNC

They should also open back Hope Estate and enslave them

Forbes Burnham and Cheddi Jagan have shown interest to produce locally and eat locally. From my experience, only Indo-Guyanese cannot adapt to eating locally and can't do without wheat flour. This has brought tremendous pressure on Forbes Burnham for banning many imported items, but not to Cheddi Jagan for having the same idea on local produce and consumption. I find this very awkward, however, this idea will come to fruition soon in the Kwebanna Village, Moruca, Region One with a population of 900 people. These people will enjoy the richness of cassava flour and you wouldn't hear them complaining about imported flour.  These are true Guyanese and I salute them.  

Good for them. Only negative is that it is not for those on low carb diet. Its twice the carb of flour but gluten free.

By extracting the starch they will reduce the carbs.

Amazon.com sells about 30 brands of rice flour.  As long as Amazon's rice flour roti does not break in two pieces when Prashad picks it up.  Like how the Burnham rice flour roti broke into two pieces when Prashad picked it up to eat it.  Prashad is willing to eat rice flour rotis.

Then it would no longer be cassava flour but more like cassava bread, wouldn't have the same properties.

Don't we have many versions of Wheaten flour?  Why can't there be different versions of Cassava flour?  I believe some species of wheat are possible in the savannahs!

Bai Prash, the problem was not that it broke into two pieces because it was rice flour. It only broke into two or more pieces because the rice flour was made by the PNC government who have a 5 decades record of haplessness.

Good luck with this venture anyway. They haven't even produced simple cassava flour and already you on to different versions.  The sad truth is that markets will be difficult to attain externally if their intent is to scale up. Right now their target is market is within their own communities.

Refused the order from the Puppet PS at the time.!!!

My wife made cassava pone and I eat belly full. Yesterday she made it again and I pig out. Never did I eat so much pone at one sitting in my life. On a serious note, to each his own. I love cassava bread and cassareep and I endorse the cassava flour factory.  

Had me some pone which was gooood. Cassava is also used in making tapioca.

Well. Good luck to them!   Which market is ever easy to attain?

What happened to the plantain chip factory?

Base, I also wish them well but being a realist I am not sure it is a good investment.

Finding a chip here, a chip there and hoping that others will chip in.

Plaintain chip business is reserved for university graduates. It's not intended for laagoo-baagoo. Skills and knowledge are highly required.

It was moved to Linden due to free electricity and it broke down. Never to be repaired again like the PNC textile, glass and bicycle factory.

Cassava flour factory is a good idea.  We can feed, clothe, and house ourselves by 1976.

PNC revised their plan to feed, clothes and house the nation by 2016 and still failed.

They can't even run a cake shop, how can they feed, clothes and house the nation by 2016 ?

PNC only talents are fete, rigging and dictators.

The Cassava Flour Processing Factory under construction.

The construction of a Cassava Flour Processing Factory is underway in Kwebanna Village, Moruca, Region One.

Cassava flour is imported and used in the USA.  Some baby foods even have cassava flour blend.  

I don’t know what all the negativity is about them trying something which is done in places like Guatemala and Honduras!

People just stupid!

Not that they're stupid, they love the dhall, rice, and roti belly. They eat without moderation. Eat fuh dead, not to live. Lol

Wheat is toxic to most people, especially those with O+ blood.

Cassava factory

…says workers being laid off

The $10 million Cassava Flour Processing Factory in Kwebanna Village, Moruca District, Region One (Barima-Waini) is presently being constructed. It is intended to bring multiple benefits to residents in the area, one of which is employment opportunities.

However, residents are now complaining that persons who were employed to assist in the execution of this project have been laid off, and instead workers are being outsourced from their region.
Region One Chairman Brentnol Ashley, in a telephone interview with Guyana Times on Friday, stated that he has received numerous complaints from residents of the Moruca district about the process the Indigenous Peoples’ Affairs Ministry and the contractor identified to execute the project.
He said that residents, inclusive of Councillors in that District of Region One, have brought to his attention that there appears to be a lack of transparency in the construction process of the factory, and that there is an unavailability of job opportunities for them, contrary to what the Government had promised.
Initially, at the commencement of this multi-million-dollar project, Government had stated that employment was created for several villagers who supplied most of the materials being used, with jobs being created for actual construction.
However, according to the Regional Chairman, the complaints about the project vary, and one disturbing issue is that residents who were employed as part of the workforce for the factory’s construction are claiming that they have been fired, only to have persons from outside of the region being contracted to perform duties which they are capable of doing.
“Several residents, even Councillors of that area, have contacted me about the construction of that cassava factory, and their issues are mainly related to the residents there not benefiting from employment, workers being laid off, and of course workers being outsourced. They are saying that the engineer and contractor for the project (are) only discussing the process with two individuals, as against all of the persons who should be included. They have also raised concerns about financial transactions, payments also,” Ashley told this publication.
He added that he is expecting this issue to be resolved in a timely manner, but if need be, a visit by his office to the site would be made soon.
When the project was initiated, Government had said that works on the facility began in December 2018, at the cost of $10 million. The funds also catered for the clearing and preparation of 30 acres of land, and the purchasing of cassava sticks for planting. An additional $16 million was allocated this year for equipping the facility, making the total invested by Government $26 million.
