Beni Sankar has been with rice his entire life, there must be something of interest from his analysis.
Mansur Ali tried diversification already. There were not enough technical people to implement the plans. Agriculture was kept mainly in Indians areas.
The PNC never cooperated with the PPP's development plans. Now they can try their own style of development for a change.
The PNC and their Two House Slaves are all about TALK band NO Action. DONT FORGET, WE STILL WAITING FOR THE FEED, CLOTHE AND HOUSE PROGRAM TO START. BE REMINDED, THIS PLAN WAS PUT IN PLACE IN 1973.

The PPP did nothing about it in their 23 years in power?

You must be stupid to think that the PPP did nothing in 23 years. When last you went back to Guyana. haven't you seen the transformation from a bankrupted country in 1992 to the most progressive one in 2015.

Yes! The Indians are using the stupid blacks to do that.

Why, after 23 years do the rice farmers have this problem?
Please do not suggest that these problems only emerged 2 months ago.
It is dishonest for a PPP supporter to expect that APNU/AFC will deliver in 2 months what they PPP failed to, or chose not to, in 23 years!
Let us get back to what Beni wrote.
1 how many rice farmers have only 5 acres? I know that there is an increase in size of plots but have no figures.
2. The cost of production figure at $80000 per acre seems high. What is the marginal cost of production per acre for small farmers as against large farmers?
3. Beni has not addressed the issue of market prices as against cost of production in his diversification proposal. The cost factors small versus large operations will come into play. Also, the issue of market saturation within the country and how we compete in the international market if the aim is to export.
4. His production numbers are sketchy and seem to be optimistic. obviously, the income stream seems very weak. Goats growing to be 100 lbs. in one year? 2 gallons of milk per day for the whole year?
5. Banks need to see a strong income stream if they are to lend start-up money for infra-structure, etc. will need an agric development bank.
6. Beni might want to do a demonstration project, put his money where U.S. Mouth is. Why is he not doing this if there is money to be made?
what do people here think?
Is Beni still in the large scale rice business??
he was developing land some where in the
Blairmont area to plant rice.

It did, with the loss of 30% market! I hope something turn soon.

The last I heard, he was. They had suffered some financial setback sometime in the past.

Beni almost went belly-up and struggled to save his home from bankers. He gambled on a high leverage model, but rising interest rates and sinking prices sent him upside down in a jiffy.
However, scale does matter and small farmers should think of another model as it becomes at best subsistence on a good day.
The days of small farmers for commodity commercial farming are over. This is for the big boys. Maybe the GoG should look into importing high-yielding cows from India for these small farmer to diversify. Large-scale high yielding farms are the ay to go.

Why go to India,we got some cows here in US. There is a guy 20 miles from where i live is big in milk production,i had a chat with him he breeds the cows when they finished producing milk,sell the cow to the beef industry.

So what you think is the reason for the article? 5 acres does seem small for a rice farmer.
How would you calculate the marginal cost for no. 2? Lets say the 5 acre farmer has to buy a combine compared to a 5000 acre farmer buying a combine.

Because they have some high-yielding tropical tough cows with low maintenance. But, if there are other good sources, yes, why not.
