Giving free land to cane cutters is no good, they will flip the land for a profit, all cane cutters dream is a way out of cutting cane and hard labor . What surprises me every body has the solutions for the Sugar Industry but they never work a day in the business, sugar in Guyana is like building ships with sails, the industry has evolved ,but Guyana is still operating as in the colonial days. First, the government must offer the land at a cheap no transferable lease to all existing sugar workers. Also with the help from the school of agriculture and Government, initial assistance and direction to be given to these workers, cant expect a cane cutter to know about crop management and marketing. If the land is not cultivated within a certain period of time, then it is taken away. Not until all the workers first given a chance of the land, then after the bid is open to the general public. Cash crops are the best option, your market will be the local consumers.
