Who cares?  Sugar is dead and gone. Move on with your lives. Tomorrow is a new day.

Not dead as yet, production will be there for local consumption and some export. It will be foolish to shut the industry down and import Sugar.

It was also foolish to shut down sugar and now import molasses to keep DDL alive.

Any idea where the billions of dollars will be coming from to keep the sugar industry afloat ? seems like you forget your hero caused the demise of the industry.

That's news to my ear, wasn't paying much attention to Guyana almost 10 yrs. So the Bauxite Company also went under the savior.

Nothing but the truth, the demise was in the horizon for Sugar and Bauxite. In the Bauxite Industry Australia, Brazil, India , China and Guinea in West Africa took over the market.

In the 70's Jamaica was the second largest Bauxite producer in the world, today they are bottom of the ladder.
