DDL worried sugar upheaval will cut molasses

Serves DDL right.  Why didn't they speak up when the Dictator announced he was closing the sugar estates?  They are now talking about buying molasses from India.  The next industry to die in Guyana is the rum Industry.  They already lost their molasses market to Bacardi Corporation which was a significant source of income to Guyana.

DDL has world class products. Famous around the world. But we are dealing here with hardcore Anti-koolies so I will not bet on this government and its supporters turning against this company because they see it as a koolie company. DDL should consider relocating their headquarters and important units to an area that is in Berbice close to Suriname.

Maybe DDL should invest in their own estate by acquiring a viable one to support its molasses needs. It is not the most practical approach but nothing is practical in Guyana. That would still be better than importing all the way from India.

They were given the first opportunity to buy Skeldon.

Bibi, do you know if there is any interest by any group still interested in taking over Skeldon factory?

THe PNC too DUMB to know the effects and consequences. The same way the Jackass Bunham closed the Railways in Guyana. OOPS Did I do that? is their Mantra. The PNC and the Namakaram Crabdaag are too stupid and illiterate to run a friggin Cake Shop so do not expect them to run a Country. And if Samaroo thinks that is the only problem with the closings, he has lots to learn. I have mentioned briefly the consequences here many times but NEVER expected the PNC and the Namakaram Crabdaag to grasp any of it!!!

I agree, Samaroo is a very smart and competent CEO. DDL is capable of running a Sugar Estate. I understand Mr Samaroo is more concerned with Molasses but vinegar and other byproducts are also at risk not to mention the devastation economically. With a Govt like the PNC it is better for people like Mr Samaroo to run the Country!!

They should. The price may have come down too. While JIT is ideal, it is not always practical so producers hope that components of their products are readily available. When I worked for Siemens back in the early '90s, we had a machine shop where we used raw wires to make flexible leads that goes from the pacemaker to the heart. Now that flexible lead was rubber coated. That rubber coating came from a candle-like material which we melted and molded into a coating sleeve for the lead. The image is stamped St. Jude as Siemens sold the operation to St. Jude in 1994. But when I was there, most of the pacemakers were fully assembled in our Sylmar, CA factory.

The Coalition Gov't has been looking for a buyer for Skeldon since in 2015 before they announced any estate closures.  Last I heard they still have not found a buyer.

Six degrees of separation.  The spouse of a GNI member also worked for Siemens in the '90s and still work there.  And I work for a company that once owned St. Jude's.

A Rice Tycoon was negotiating but the Namakaram Crabdaag was trying to get his son in law to benefit.

Thanks. I hope they have patience and wait for a buyer. I am afraid they might start dismantling the factory. Have a Happy new year.

Even today, I consider my time at Siemens Pacesetter to be my most satisfying time although it is where I have had my shortest tenure. Just a few years. I was young and coming up in Corporate America and the products we were involved in (pacemakers & Insulin pumps) gave a very deep sense of satisfaction. That was poetry for me. I had four levels of Financial reporting as each had different levels of reserve. We had our level of reporting, then the one we submitted to Siemens Medical Systems in New Jersey. Then the one we submitted to Siemens Corporation in New York and lastly, the one we submitted to Siemens AG in Germany. That was all before Excel, all those savvy Excel based accounting schedules and the internet. We used to compress our files and transmit them using Progeny. It was a few days of intense work followed by a free reward day off. The delivery of financial reporting has become so much easier today.

my professor friend which business man will buy that factory maybe if they sell it without the factory 

DDL should buy Rosehall and Skeldon and move all operations there. It may look like a bad investment now but in 20 years it would be seen as a very good deal.

PNCR/AFC seems to be clueless about the basic principles that companies and operations have on other areas of business and the community.

I know...PPP had all the ideas, no wonder Skeldon was managed so well

That GNI member's wife may know about this. In the early '90s, Siemens Corporation developed their own financial consolidation package called Financial Accounting Consolidation Systems (FACS). We at Pacesetter and Infusion were using a mainframe software called NCS Maxim running off of DEC mainframe. For us to further integrate with Siemens, we were charged with changing our software to ASK Manman. That was going to be a $10M or so upgrade for us. Our fixed assets at that time had an acquisition cost of over $80M. I was on the implementation team for ASK Manman which was on schedule but suddenly came to a screeching halt. I did not know why it was halted. Nonetheless, I left in 1994 using the earthquake to convince all family members that we should move back east. I only learned of the sale to St. Jude sometime in 1995.

My friend and buddy, anything is possible. I just hope that if that factory is operating, lots of sugar workers from other estates might move up to Skeldon and provide a steady workforce. People need to make a living. Farmers in America are given subsidies to grow beets for sugar production.
