GUYANA PRIVATE SECTOR: Excitement About Venezuela's Offer

Topics

Former Member

OK Folks:

The Rev has always preached that the engine for growth, development and prosperity in Guyana is the private sector.

Well folks, here is some excellent news:

quote:

HUGE INTEREST IN VENEZUELA'S OFFER TO BUY GUYANA'S BUILDING MATERIALS

A number of Guyanese hardware manufacturers are looking to cash in on an offer from Venezuela to buy building materials.

Yesterday, the Private Sector Commission (PSC) released a list of 20-plus materials that the neighbouring Spanish-speaking country is interested in.

These include PVC pipes, cement, shingles and wooden doors. Venezuela has announced plans to build over 200,000 homes this year and have realized that from estimates that the domestic supplies there would not be enough to meet demands...

LINK

NOTE:

* 17 Guyanese exporters have already shown great interest in supplying materials to Venezuela

* Guyana has also been increasing trade with Brazil and Suriname in recent years with even flour making its way across the Takutu Bridge to Boa Vista and other nearby states of the Portuguese-speaking country.

* Packaged sugar from the Guyana Sugar Corporation will be heavily targeted to regional markets...

LOTS OF BUSINESS ACTIVITY IN GUYANA

It is the private sector that will catalyze the Guyanese economy to new heights. The Rev wishes those businesses great success.

Pooran:

The Rev didn't realize Guyana had a thriving building materials sector---that's good news.

By the way pooran---from the fowl business in Guyana you should expand into the jam and jelly business.

You can produce and export:

* Guava jam and jelly

* Pineapple jam and jelly

* Mango jam and jelly

* Papaya jam and jelly

* 5 finger jam and jelly

THEN YOU CAN EXPAND INTO THE WINE BUSINESS

* Jamoon wine

Guyana has lots of jamoon---it grows wild---Jamoon wine is delectable

LOTS OF BUSINESS OPPORTUNITY IN GUYANA POORAN.

Pooran might be a former cane-cuttah---and high school dropout---but the man has big plans and ideas---he is both creative and innovative---and he can hire those scientists to help him with his jam and wine business.

By the way:

While AFC and PNC leaders and supporters are living their fears, Guyanese businessmen and entrepreneurs are living their dreams.

Good luck to the private sector---the engine of growth in Guyana.

The Rev not sure about Bush whiskey---that's illegal, isn't it ?

RE: PEPPERPOT

Pepper pot might have some serious potential---what delectable dish!

EVERY TOURIST WHO VISIT GUYANA SHOULD BE INTRODUCED TO GUYANA PEPPERPOT.

Yes, they would be interested if they ever tasted our local products.

On a serious note, Guyana should maintain a strong trade agreement with its neighboring States and take steps to fulfill any requested demands for our building materials. It will add to the growing economy and also profitable for the private sectors. I foresee Guyana's economy is strengthened by free trade and partnership with foreign investors.

I had a good laugh reading your post.

RE: SUMOOTOO

I totally forgot about sumootoo---didn't hear that word in decades.

The man probably carries a lucky seed in his pocket---everything looking up for the man. God bless the Donald and his wonderful country.

RE: LARGE SCALE AGRICULTURE PLANTATION IN THE RUPUNUNI

A few years ago there were talks about collaboration between Guyana and Brazil to engage in large scale farming in the rupununi--soya beans, rice, casava, etc.

Has there been any progress regarding those farming talks ?

OK then!

So what you are saying is no progress has been made in promised large scale agriculture development in the hinterland.

The chinese have been buying up millions of acres of land in 3rd world countries to grow food for the billion plus chinese in china----maybe the chinese will develop the rupununi area.

RE: RICE

During the PNC days rice production had dropped to 130,000 tons(1988).

Rice production is now up to 400,000+ tons---that is good news.

RE: SUGAR

Your bwoy Pooran_lall has been complaining about the 200 million US skeldon factory---once the problems there are fixed---the sugar industry should get back on track.

RE: OIL, BAUXITE, MANGANESE, GOLD, DIAMOND

Foreign investments will take care of the above.

It is not the political parties that will bring prosperity to Guyana---it's the private sector---local and large scale foreign investments.

Slegdy:

Show me a politician in any country on this planet who is not shady, corrupt, crooked, unethical and unscrupulous and I will show you a rare, unique, one in a million human being.

.

Jags lives in a multi million dollar mansion in Pradoville2---it surely wasn't his pipsqueak presidential salary that paid for that property----the man collected millions in GIFTS.

BOTTOM LINE:

Politicians will always be bandits---the private sector knows this---and will continue to bribe politicians to get whatever they want.

My point remains that private investments---local and foreign---will be the engine of growth for the Guyanese economy going forward.
