Guyana Expecting Bumper Rice Production This Year

BUMPER CROP: A tractor ploughing a rice field in Berbice, Guyana.

GUYANA SAYS it will exceed the 2013 target for rice production by as much as 80,000 tonnes.

Agriculture Minister Dr Leslie Ramsammy said with a first crop production of 263,528 tonnes, the second crop may well exceed the 2013 target of 450,000 tonnes.

The authorities say more than 75,000 hectares of rice land had been placed under cultivation for the second crop.

They said early indications are that farmers were having a good crop with a fairly good yield, averaging approximately 35 bags of paddy per acre.

"If the rest of the crop maintains that level of yield which we fully expect, of course it could get better, but we don't expect it would be worse. We expect that this crop would produce far in excess of 220,000 tonnes of rice," Ramsammy said.

He said the first crop could have easily passed 300,000 tonnes had it not been for the drought and the paddy bug infestation, which were not unique to Guyana or unusual for rice industries around the world.

"We can't say how successful we have been thus far until more rice is harvested. What we can say, however, is that in this initial stage, we have seen encouragingly very little impact of paddy bug," Ramsammy added.

Yuji:

 

With the defection of 3rd rate economist TK and other pipsqueaks from the AFC to APNU, it looks like the marriage between the AFC and APNU has been broken.

 

I recently praised APNU for blocking the Sithe proposal to develop Guyana----but make no mistake---APNU is toxic and cancerous-----we must now turn our attention to hammering APNU.

 

AFC has peaked---they got 10% in the last election----they'll be lucky to get 5% in the next election.

 

Anyway, Donald Ramotar will be re-elected President, and he stands a good chance of winning a majority.

 

 

THE NEW MANTRA:

 

GOOD NEWS FOR GUYANA IS BAD NEWS FOR THE PNC/APNU.

The agriculture sector in Guyana is BOOMING!

 

* Rice production off the charts

 

* Sugar is slowly getting back on track---the South Africans have mostly corrected the shoddy work the Chinese did at the Skeldon factory.

 

BOOM TIMES ARE AHEAD IN GUYANA'S AGRI SECTOR!

 

You folks know what happens if APNU/PNC takes over in Guyana, right ?

 

The farmers will walk away from the land.

 

Boom times in the agri sector will turn to DOOM times.

The AFC is the most corrupt party Guyana has ever seen. What a bunch of shameless individuals. Karma finally caught up with them.

 

PNC Indians are finally coming out of the closet. The PPP must now take care of home base and they will be back in the drivers seat. 

 

TK will receive the biggest kick of his life when the PNC takes out their knives and fork. The AFC is finished. Mitwah is reported to having chest pains right now.

The AFC was always the step child of the PNC. They are now returning to Big Daddy's PNC home. We must never forget the brutal dictatorship PNC days. Thugs like Carl Greenidge and the man who was involved the the ballot box killings now heads the PNC.

 

The shameless will join the PNC thugs. Moses is currently licking the boots of Nigel and has become the water boy for Nigel's wife.

The dirty PNC Indians are drooling at the thought of hooking up with the depraved and degenerate PNC.

 

 

That is Tarron Khemraj---the dirtiest of PNC Indians----he took the first plunge---he bolted from the AFC----the folks over at APNU must never trust TK----like Moses Nagamootoo----TK is a judas.

The Dirty Bunch of PNC Indians are slowly coming out of the closet. These are people of very low self esteem. They are not proud of their identity so they do what they do best hence become followers of PNC thugs. The AFC imploded while they run for cover to their new boss Granger with cup in hand and offering to lick Granger's boots.

Mithun:

 

The Rev deeply empathizes with the anguish, the heartache, the distress and the torture you are currently experiencing. I bet you never believed your beloved AFC would disintegrate as quickly as it did.

 

You recently wrote that you were considering supporting the PNC/APNU----that is your choice and your prerogative Mitwah----but please don't commit suicide when Donald Ramotar is re-elected President in the next election.
