You do know that Rose Hall and Skeldon will be like Linden and Kwakwani with massive unemployment. Now my idea would be more humane and at least give these ex sugar workers an opportunity to do something else if they so wish.
And with Guyana and CARICOM at large having a huge food import bill I really don't see where the risk is. Especially as increasing morbidity due to obesity is getting more governments to urge their populations to eat better.
I don't know if you know this but food and agri industrial products are among the USA's largest exports. Ditto for Canada.
Like you want to perpetuate dankey cart economy, which is what cane cutting job is. This is a blessing in disguise, it will force the IndoGs to move away from the dependency of low wage can cutting jobs and pursue more higher paying initiatives. IndoG always find a way to survive.
I am not against agriculture but rather govt running any type of business.
If food import bill is high then this is an opportunity for private investors to step in and take over the agriculture industry instead of depending on a bunch of politicians to further waste tax payers dollars.
