Rice flour is a hot commodity with the exploding demand for gluten free products in North America, Europe and other parts of the world. It is also expensive and will most likely be a profitable venture. However, as soon as you mention rice flour, some people will start talking about Burnham's ghost still haunting them 30 years after he died.  

Saki, is an expensive drink, we can export to the Chinese and Japanese market. Like the saying goes" get lemon, make lemonade".

Rice planting in Asia is huge,firstly Guyanese farmers have

to compete with the price,they are saying it's not

profitable.

Sometimes I feel, no matter what Guyanese rice farmers are paid, they will not be happy.

There seems to be little  harmony with some neighbouring growers. They tend to compete too much, instead of supporting each other, for better crops and prices.

 

The sugar industry seems to be the same. If  a gang worker is injured on the job, instead of gang members taking time off to give evidence for his worker's compensation, the injured man is told to continue working, until the end of the day.

This tend to fragment their effort for better health services.
