it is Holder, AFC member, now minister of agriculture that closed down Wales sugar estate. .

Given that the EU will soon no longer need our sugar and there will soon be no market for Guyana, beyond CARICOM, do you suggest that Guyana produces sugar and then burns it?

Sugar in Guyana is dead, beyond a small production level needed for molasses for the rum industries of CARICOM, and for regional sugar consumption. This is a point that you all don't seem to understand.

Why should the remaining Guyanese be taxed to support the jobs of only some? What other industry in Guyana receives the massive amount of financial support that sugar does?

So if the AFC agrees that sugar has to be miniaturized and marginal estates shut down then they are CORRECT!
