Wales market vendors’ hardships deepen

I don't see produce from Guyana in our supermarkets here. How come?

Looking at those pictures bring two things to mind. One is that those vegetables look really good. Secondly, people in Guyana live really precariously. Those zinc sheets seem like a safety hazard, especially the ones next to aunty's umbrella.

Maybe Moses needs to make a trip to Canada like he did to Mexico. 

It is expensive to sell Guyana produce here. The import cost is high. Cheaper to get stuff from other countries like Mexico or Chile

Then you have the Chinese supermarkets slashing produce prices

Those direct flights to Miami might help move the produce faster to the North American market.

DR also. Flights leave there directly every day.

The issue i find is the stores run by the WI over here they try to make high margins. Thus they are selling produce and fish from Guyana at a high price. While the Chinese will operate at a lower margin

It very hard, we ain’t getting the sales like before. You come out just so you gotta pack back and go in. One and two residents coming out and buy; Uitvlugt workers don’t get pay here. They don’t spend here because they got other markets that they passing,” Boston noted.

This might be true in all the communities where sugar workers were put in the bread line. I saw this at #78 village market. Some of the vendors buy produce to sell and they are unable to reduce their prices. In the end, they lose.

West Indian, especially Guyanese merchants are indeed crooked.  Then you have Bedessee who used to alter the expiration dates on his canned goods. Lots if wickedness around.

The man probably learned this from Guyana or maybe he taught the Guyanese vendors. I saw this "removing the expiration date" on evaporated milk when I questioned the seller about the milk. I asked him if the milk would still be good in a couple years.

Are you referring to the American Airlines who will be charging a lot more than the existing airlines, then the price for cargo will be higher. Guyana product is good stuff but cannot compare with others when you look at the landed cost. Recently I see a Chinese grocery store Jian Hing at Markham& Lawrence  sells a whole lot of fishes from Guyana such as Cuffum, Curass, Catfish, Hourie, Gillbaka, Hassa, grey Snapper Patwa,white belly shrimp just to name a few, and I find the prices very reasonable compare to the West Indian Shops. If you go to the food terminal, you can buy different grade of produce, the Chinese buy the third grade which is cheaper but the SHELF life is much shorter, that's why most of their produce is cheaper.

I don't think I am lazy. I just don't like yard work. The lawn service people that I have has been with me since around 2002. 

They come by every two weeks.

Eh-eh bhai, you worship Marilyn Monroe plus deee Stormy.  

Guyana cannot compete with Mexico when it comes to agricultural products. Peru is now in the agricultural market in a big way.. We can look at Trinidad. They are a force now in the pepper sauce market. Scotch Bonnet peppers. Guyana has to find a niche market and dominate it.

Okay bhai, Ooookaaaay.

 Wales was always been a depressed community for Afros whether the sugar  estate was functional or not because of their lifestyles. You may want to call it a racist view, there were also a high percentage of Indos likewise.  it's a fact traveling in Guyana you can identify the ethnic majority of most villages and towns..

Oh, I forgot. This is not the whole picture. This was cut in half. The original that I have shows her entire back uncovered. 

Here is the whole picture.

another dunce feeling the overwhelming urge to vomit on GNI and relieve pressure on the outhouse that passes for his 'mind'

this coward hiding behind "Randolph" is so retarded that he actually trying to spray up vomit with perfume and hoping nobody will notice

banna with another nick here had the same MO, and actually felt smug and clever 'pulling it off'

poor/no education is a vicious disease affecting too many posting here

Easy guys dont get baited into personal insults

Rawan that's the best you can do as an educated dunce , why don't you contribute to the subject matter other than share your poor vision .

The problem some are scared to invest in new ventures because of the crime situation. Manufacturing is one thing, but the product has to compete pricewise with the outside market. 

Coconut water is flooding the NA markets likewise other fruit juices.

Then you have the crookish ones over in Guyana who tries to hide drugs in their exports. Making it even tougher for the honest guy. Guyana does not have much to really offer the outside market anymore. 

Rice and Sugar is dead. I do not know how strong the market is for the rum outside.

It might be another 10 years before that first barrel of oil is exported (if the project ever materialize)

One of the farmer said everytime the crop is ready the bandits raid the farm so how can that encourage you to do farming.  Closing the sugar factories does not help the rum industry, the government should allow DDL to buy Enmore Estate right now Rum is the only  internationally known product that tops the world market. I recently notice the duty free shops have increase d the prices of Guyana rum by as much as 50% and sometimes they don't have stock.

you come here to empty yuh bowels ("hit hard" in ignar parlance), wipe up quick with plantain leaf, and expect nobody to smell?

banna, try get an education yeh . . . it not too late

For starters, Meh bin a Sunday School. Meh tinks you bin a UG good fuh yuh but me tinks yuh prappa stuppidy and dumb like Granger and his PNC cohorts. Travel from Crabwood Creek to Charity and you can identify the ethnic majority of that particular village/ town. This is a fact. This must have upset you so much. Why? You can't take it to see progress against the stagnation or retrogression. But to tell the truth hurts you so much, all you can think of is crap which you are full of.
