Hemp production in Linden is possible

Jun 02, 2016 Letters

Dear Editor,

Every day we hear about the country’s economy in shambles, high rate of unemployment and crime, and our major sectors rice, sugar and mining are in trouble. But I listened on Saturday last (May28th 2016) to an interview with one Dr. Doerga, President of Guyana Hemp Association on Radio Linden on the massive economic benefits our country can reap with the production of industrial hemp.
He spoke in depth of the opportunities the country can reap if it produces hemp. It can reduce poverty, provide massive employment and also develop communities on the Coastland and the Hinterland and Guyana as a whole.
I urge President David Granger and his APNU/AFC administration to give the no objection to the production of industrial Hemp in the country so we could to build our economy.
I call also on Dr. Dooerga and his group to immediately launch an awareness program to sensitive Guyanese on the prospects of hemp production. He spoke about a National Consultation to be held next month in Georgetown. Please arrange a Regional Consultation in Linden as early as possible. We have the Land in Linden and Region 10, as well as the manpower and other infrastructure to the push the production so we could develop our great Region and the town of Linden.
