Many of us on this same site had predicted the effects of closing the sugar estates on the rum industry. Well here we are. It’s just a matter of time before DDL collapses.

They should have done that a long time ago.  $2 per barrel on a 45gallon barrel will give them $80 million every year. That is only excise taxes for the Government.

No matter how high the price goes up, the market will be there.

DDL only has itself to blame. It is a company with an international product yet it could not bring itself to buy at least two sugar estates. The company clearly is very cautious about investing in anything. It reminds Prashad of an old timer Koolie man who would eat salt and rice while drinking sugar water thus depriving himself of nutrition to hide away money in his mattress.

And your lesson for today is? You know that didn't happen so what is the point of your rhetoric?

Point is company only has itself to blame. Penny wise Pound foolish.

Today is Sunday, guys. If you have rum at home, mix yourself a drink and relax with this song. Some of you wukking for de yankee dollah as the song says.

NP for quality of the rums it should command a higher price. I have tried premium rums from around the world and they produce the best quality rums. This really is a great Guyanese success story. Just shows with the right focus and leadership Guyana can lead.

Am more into wines these days. Am only about 1/2 Hour to an Hour from the vine yards and would pay a visit to the College every summer and pick up a few cases of  "99" for Xmas gifting.

I like wines too. Reds in particular, more good for you. Is that Gretzky “99”?

DDL will never collapse ,the company is strong. Good they raised local rum price ,less imbibing for the locals.

Definitely not. Since I was a boy rum price rose and rose and rose to current price. The continual price rises didn't cause reductions in demand. More imbibing, not less imbibing. Paradoxically the poor drink more rum than the rich in Guyana.

Go back and read my posts since 2002 and you will figure it out.

Yesterday,  I participated on a electronic meeting with people from other countries. We have been doing this for decades and came to one conclusion. We can do our one part, but we cannot change an entire country, or the world single handed.
