THE PPP NEEDS TO ENSURE THAT THE SUGAR INDUSTRY RETURNS TO GOOD HEALTH.

Years ago profits from the sugar industry was used to subsidize bauxite and Lindeners.

With good management the sugar industry can grow and prosper.

Most of the 210,000 tons of sugar exported last year was bulk sugar.

As production increases---more exports should be packaged sugar----this is more profitable.


RE: RICE VS SUGAR

Rice production in 2011 was 400,000 tons; sugar only 237,000 tons

SUGAR HAS SOME CATCHING UP TO DO.

CHECK OUT THE GENEROUS FINANCIAL PACKAGE PNC OPPOSITION LEADER WILL RECEIVE

quote:

Newly- elected Oppo-sition Leader, David Granger is assured of a range of benefits along with his salary and a pension, following the passage in 2010 of the Leader of the Opposition (Benefits and Other Facilities) Bill 2009

According to the legislation, the holder of the office shall be entitled at government expense to rent-free furnished office accommodation; medical attention, including medical treatment or reimbursement of medical expenses incurred by him for himself and the dependent members of his family; full-time security service at his official place of residence and at his office to be provided by the Guyana Police Force; the services of a research assistant, an executive assistant/secretary, a clerical/office assistant, a chauffeur, a personal security officer, a gardener and two domestic servants; and salary, vacation allowance and parliamentary benefits equivalent to those of a Cabinet minister.

OK Folks:

If the PNC and AFC(pnc lite) had their way, they would abandon sugar production in Guyana.

Thankfully, Donald Ramotar and the PPP understand the paramount role the sugar industry plays in the lives of tens of thousands of indo Guyanese and are bent of reviving the industry and bringing it back to health and profitability.




Check this out folks:

When young indo Guyanese boys decide school is not their calling and they drop out, they know a cane cutting job awaits them in the sugar estate--check out Bhagwandin, Totaram, and Mohan Lall toiling away in that photo.




On the other hand, when young afro Guyanese boys choose to drop out from school they have a choice between choke and rob or marching with the PNC youth arm hoping to get some action looting and burning.

Anyway back to serious business:



RE: GUYANA SUGAR INDUSTRY



Over the past 5 years production has been average---between 220,000 and 250,000 metric tons.

The short term goal is to raise sugar production to 300,000 tons.

The PPP administration expects that once the Skeldon sugar factory is fully functional---success in the sugar industry will return--and sugar production will exceed 400,000 tons.

Most of Guyana's sugar is exported in bulk---but the goal is export packaged sugar----a packaging plant was completed at Enmore---more profits can be achieved by exporting packaged rather than bulk sugar.


CONCLUSION:

With 18,000 people working full time in the sugar industry and 4,000 part time---and with nearly 125,000 people depending directly or indirectly on GUYSUCO---the PPP must focus like a laser to ensure that the sugar industry is operating profitably.

It would be nice to see the Skeldon Sugar Estate back on it's feet. It will take a great deal of leadership to keep the sugar industry going with the changing dynamics of the price of sugar. Guyanese will all benefit if the sugar industry gets going again. It would also be a wise political move to get more financial resources allocated to Berbice.

Jagdeo took Berbice for granted and neglected them and they voted to send the PPP a strong message that their voice was not being heard in GT. Let us see what happens next.

Well yuji:

In fairness to the PPP, the largest investment to date in Guyana was that nearly 200 million(US) skeldon sugar factory---and it is in Berbice.

The PPP also constructed the Berbice bridge---and there are quite a few projects in the pipeline.


RE: THE SUGAR INDUSTRY

The 200 million skeldon factory has been problematic, but once the technical difficulties are sorted out the industry will get back on track and will grow.

Keep in mind that the sugar industry has also been hampered by poor weather---and there were also some strikes I believe.

Hopefully over the next 3 years---the skeldon factory will be operating at fully capacity---and yearly production will head towards 350-400,000 tons.


RE: SUGAR PRICE

We all know that Guyana lost the preferential prices it received in the European market.

BUT SUGAR PRICES ON THE WORLD MARKET HAVE RISEN THE PAST 4 YEARS.

Back in 2007 sugar was 8 cents a pound(that's $176.32 per ton); Today sugar closed at 24 cents a pound(that's $528.96 per ton).


$176.32 per ton(2007)---->$528.96(2011)

That's a 300% price increase in 4 years.

THE SUGAR INDUSTRY IN GUYANA CAN GROW AND PROSPER.

I like the idea of the Guysuco focusing on packaged sugar---that's value added right there----more profits.


So Guyana produced 237,000 tons of sugar in 2011---once the industry gets its act together and the skeldon factory starts operating at full capacity---production should reach 400,000 tons within 5 years---and hopefully prices will keep up.

Rev, you are a man of numbers and numbers speak for themselves. If things go as planned, then sugar can become king again in Guyana. It may appear that the government must focus on getting the new factory running smoothly as soon as possible and they must appoint a well qualified Admin. for that sugar estate. I worked there at the office of Skeldon Estate many many years ago and word form a few insiders is that Skeldon Estate needs a management shake up to get things running smoothly again.

This government stands to do good things for Guyana if they govern in a manner that will benefit all Guyanese. The intention and actions of the opposition will decide where we go from here.

PPP will benefit the most if a snap election is called early and the AFC will fade away despite some die hard supporters. They are only a protest party. History has proven that protest parties come and go like the blowing wind. We see examples of this across the entire world.

The ball is in the people's parliament and let us see how the politicians behave. Dem a watch de politicians.

BTW, Obama must go. His record as president is disgraceful to say the least. He lacks leadership skills to understand the dynamics of a large economy and sophisticated population. The left wing of the Democratic party set the wrong agenda and he paid the price by allowing them to do so. He was handed a mandate for change by a historic amount of American voters but dropped the ball. He is indeed a one term president.
