King Sugar is on its death bed
Dem Boys Seh…
Kaieteur News – Guyana once produced more than 400,000 tons of sugar. Now we struggling fuh produce 70,000 tons per year.
And despite having once produced more than 400,000 of sugar, we asking foreign people fuh help we reach 100,000 tons next year. So what happen to all dem experts when we used to surpass 300,00o tones?
We nah need nobody fuh come and tell we how fuh produce sugar or how fuh plant cane. We simply need to plant de cane and manufacture de sugar. But we can’t do that because sugar industry is on life-support
De government only nah realize by now that sugar is on its death-bed. It nah gan mek…
We gat to move on from sugar. There is future in it. We can’t find the labourers,we cannot afford the costs of machinery and relaying de fields fuh de machines and we can’t produce sugar cheap. De cane fields gan cost too much to re-prepare. Dem was neglected fuh too long.
Sugar is no longer sweet. It gan give we more pain than nara. It can’t come back. It too far gone!
De rural economy nah gan get better with sugar. It gan get worse because sugar production is a loss-making money. Dem opening Canje later this year.
But where dem gan get de workers from? Yuh can’t even get labourers fuh wuk fuh $8,000 per day in de construction industry much less fuh send people fuh cut cane.
We gat to turn dem sugar lands into planting other things. We gat to turn Guysuco into a food corporation.
Is time fuh stop playing de games and to realize that sugar gan soon die, is time fuh keep its wake and plan fuh de cremation. Is de PPPC gat to administer de final rites!
