DEAR EDITOR,
Firstly, it reflects a lack of planning on the part of the Government in terms of diversifying its markets for sugar, rum and rice, which are the main products that stand to be affected should Guyana choose not to sign the agreement.

We have too long been putting all our eggs in one basket and we are all aware of the perils of doing so, especially where we have already seen what the EU did with Sugar.

Secondly, the lack of support by fellow CARICOM heads, again, is testimony that Guyana has little to gain from CARICOM integration.

So many writers before have articulated that we should be more closely aligned to our South American neighbours, but for some reason successive governments continue to “flog this dead donkey”. I do hope that now that Jagdeo has seen the writing on the wall that he will take steps to encourage trade and closer collaborations with the right people.
