If this is done and should the PPP ever stay in power, they will be exporting..

Coke in de barley.

We already have enough problems with rice and sugarcane. You want to cause more problems?

I don't see any problem with private people planting barley instead of rice and manufacture barley products for local consumption and export marketing to the Caribbean and else where. People needs to open up to new ideas in agriculture. Mr. Granger said he will done away with sugar and grow Tillapia. Government should also think on this line.

Cani, you're on a different trip, bro.

Barley is for beer

I wanna see dem guys stick a fish in the ground and see if it grow. hehe

Or do they use fish seeds?

Don't you think this is insulting given Ramotar squatted on the Sugar board while it went up in flames? Note he was instrumental in hiring a quack as CEO of the corporation as well. What more damage can they do to this industry than they have not already done?

My old man tested all these various crops and certain strains could be grown in various regions.  It will take investment and some upfront subsidies to get them off the ground.  One has to weigh the viability and accessing export markets.

The PPP gon soon find out where barley does grow.
