We need to caffeinate the brains of technocrats and politicians so they can take different risks. Too long they have been thinking along the same lines.

House Slaves and PNC cant run a bloody cake shop, you expect them to know about Exports and thing???

Billy, for many years the home market for Guyana coffee has been depressing to farmers. In another thread I posted some production numbers. Local demand peaked in the 1980s, a period that coincided with the restriction of many commodity imports.

As you may know, Guyanese consumers at home generally prefer foreign goods even when local substitutes are available. That attitude is mainly responsible for the sad state of the coffee industry today. Low demand.

I think we can overcome that hurdle of Guyanese thinking our home products are inferior to what's imported. American TV broadcasts reach people all around world including Guyana. Guyanese are learning about the dangers of processed foods and the great benefits of organic or our locally grown foods. Guyana can eke out share of the domestic coffee market by using the four PPPPs in marketing - product, placement, price, and promotion. Our entrepreneurs and our local ad agencies have to work together in devising strategies to win the minds of the local consumers. It's not easy but it is possible. Do you recall the days when Guyanese were using foreign chicken?  About 90% of the chicken market was imported American chicken.  Today, that is no longer the case. The previous administrations assisted in the local poultry industry  and we saw spectacular growth.  Today foreign chicken is no longer dominant nor does the big fried chicken outlets like Kentucky use the imported meat. We can do the same with our coffee. It will create jobs and generate more earnings for the country.

Coffee Bamboo Coconut an 'erb....TO DA MOOOOOONNNNN!!!!!!!!

Plant um fuss nah?  Why should I be the marketing agent?  I am doing what I am able to do from here. I have lots of bike riding to do so I do not have time. The last remaining years I have will be spent exclusively on me.

PNC killed the rice industry in less than six months. Dem cant even run a cake shop.

The AFC/PNC folks have made ZERO economic progress ince they took power. Guyana is headed into one of it's worse recession, thanks to change AFC/PNC KoKOBeah style.

Don't brag about your stationary bike.  Try riding a mountain bike.  I can take you on any day, any time.

Guyana can learn something from its sister Caribbean nation Jamaica which has been producing coffee for nearly 300 years running. The greater share of Jamaica's coffee is exported.

To oversee coffee production, the Ministry of Agriculture has a special department called the Coffee Industry Board. That Board in turn has an arm called the Coffee Industry Development Company which assists farmers who grow coffee on one or more hectares of land.

The Coffee Industry Regulation Act gives legal teeth to Jamaica's famous Blue Mountain brand.

Jamaica produced nearly 7,000 tons coffee in 2013.
