According to the release, in 2015, Regal Forest Holdings (RFH), the parent company for the Unicomer Group, acquired the RadioShack brand and franchising rights for Central America, South America and the Caribbean.

Looks like Radio Shack heading to greener pastures.

Dem Gadahas eat out all the grass in the Pastures.

Having a Radio Shack outlet in Guyana is a good move by Giftland Mall and the Group that acquired the franchise.   

That is news I was thinking radio shack closed out about 15 years ago.

Radio shack is closing down in America. It is on its way out, Amazon and other online retailers have driven them out of business.  Out of 1000, only 70 will remain in the US.

Even if this Radio Shack goes the way of the others, it's a start and hopefully Guyana can profit from the business knowledge such as suppliers.

Guyana don't need more retailers, they need manufacturers. Every other person in Guyana is buying and selling, no production in the country, especially now that rice, sugar and bauxite on the decline.

It is good move to open a Radio Shack [The Source] store in Guyana.

Good quality electronic accessories, like memory cards are difficult to find and professionals have to get their supplies from overseas.

Many people are frustrated with memory cards failure,because they have brand names, but are off-shore lower quality cards.

People have defective equipment that has to wait for parts from NY or TO and  this RS store might speed up the availability of parts.

Plus, this store will also create jobs, that might not  come from China.

Guyana needs manufacturing. Buying and selling dry goods will just lead to a Raul  Castro type economy.

Dream on, even in the US they don't sell proper memory cards and electronics at radio shack, what make you think this defunct corporation would be any better in Guyana?

I can understand your negativity  and stress due to your finding yourself in a dead end job with no vertical or lateral moves. It must be depressing when you see younger ones with less service getting the promotions and better pay.

You need to refresh your memory about personal attacks. Slop can and filth heads are labels given to a group.  Personal attackes is delving into a person personal life and attacking the person rather than the content of their post. Mitwah is famous for this and has been banned in the past for the same actions.

Nonsense, these are not categories of personal attack. A slop can carrier is a figurative badge of honor and is not personal. Meanwhile,  bringing up a man's personal business, how many woman he got, how big is his dick, who is his wife, how much rum he drink and how much money he makes. Now that is personal.

So telling someone that they live on Section 8 or they work at a dollar store is not personal? I guess it only becomes personal when you're in the line of fire.

Not true,  the PPP are also predators on the nations coffers just as the PNC. You are the one who was a PPP supporter. Anyway you opened the door to your slop can label by calling others piss pot porters. 

Now to get the discussion back on track. This is evidence of what is lacking in Guyana.

Manufacturing sector starved of incentives – GCCI

June 16, 2017

8

– accounts for meagre economic performance

The Georgetown Chamber of Commerce and Industry (GCCI) is calling for the Government to take a more proactive approach to revive the manufacturing sector, in light of that sector’s dismal contribution to the Gross Domestic Product (GDP).

Hosting his first press conference as President of GCCI, Deodat Indar made this call on Thursday at the chamber’s headquarters. According to Indar, there is little to no incentive for manufacturers to contribute to the Guyana economy.

“There is little to nothing in terms of incentive (that) manufacturers get,” Indar said. “Look at the value of the GDP that manufacturers carry; it’s miniscule. We don’t even make a hammer in this country. So for us to really seriously think about manufacturing, we cannot have a seminar (for) a half-day (and expect we) would (be able to) look at all the top-of-the-line problems manufacturers have. We need to dig down in those issues.

“There are legal, incentive, cost (and) energy impediments. Energy represents a high part of cost — 10 to 15 (or) maybe 17 per cent; it ranges for different companies,” Indar explained.

He said that if energy cost is reduced, the profit line for businesses would increase, and the investment would make a return. But referring to public companies in Guyana, he noted that there is a prevailing downturn.

“Manufacturers need assistance,” Indar stressed. “And it must be done in a way that it is not bleeding the Government but at the same time that money is translated to cheaper goods for the consumers, so it carries down the cost of living.”

Manufacturing

When Government had released its end-of-year Outcome Report earlier this year, it showed even bleaker statistics on the nation’s manufacturing sector than Finance Minister Winston Jordan’s 2017 budget had projected. The report, which covers the year 2016, contains revised projections from those presented in budget 2017. It stated that the manufacturing sector contracted by 9.5 per cent, and not the 7.1 per cent Jordan had announced in November.

The decline in the manufacturing sector was linked to the shrinking production in agriculture. The manufacturing sector is heavily dependent on sugar and rice production, a fact that Jordan had acknowledged last month at a press conference.

“Very little manufacturing activity takes place in Guyana… The last (time) I looked at manufacturing without sugar and rice milling, (it contributed) a mere five per cent to GDP (Gross Domestic Product), which is very low,” Jordan had told journalists at the press conference.

The Finance Ministry has revealed that, overall, the agriculture and fishing and forestry sectors had contracted by 10.4 per cent in 2016. According to the report, this is 0.9 per cent more than the rate projected at the time the 2017 Budget was presented.

“Sugar production contracted even further than projected in November 2016, as the industry underestimated the negative impacts of late planting of the second crop on production.

In addition, the late arrival of spare parts for factories negatively affected the processing stage of production,” the report revealed.

At his 2016 end-of-year press conference, Agriculture Minister Noel Holder had explained that sugar production for the year had been plagued by poor labour turnout; lack of spares; equipment shortages, in particular cane punts; and factory breakdowns in the sector.

He had also revealed that the shortage of skills and experience, in addition to underinvestment in the industry, was taking its toll.
