And how many people in Guyana can afford those high priced US dollar gated communities?
Those cane cutters who fail will fail. Isnt that the law of capitalism? You take a chance and it doesn't work, so you go out of business. The fact remains that no one who isn't serious about farming is going to want to pay to lease this land. If they don't pay the lease they will be tossed off. Part of the terms of the lease will be to use the land for agricultural purposes and if they don't do this they are in breach so will be tossed off.
I am also willing to bet that a large % of the cane cutters will take the severance pay and use it to flee to Barbados or Trinidad or St Maarten.
Go ahead and build your US dollar gated communities but you better include US dollar priced security systems because with massive unemployment crime will definitely increase. You will not only have the cane cutters lose their jobs but then will rub salt in their eyes by giving away their lands to wealthy people who will build their country homes. A recipe for crime.
Nonsense, you are not suggesting renting, you said give away lease. There is a difference. Who will be responsible for paying the lease upfront? The cane cutters? From where they will get this money? Who will supply tractors, fuel, fertilizer, markets etc? Will the markets be local(already saturated), or foreign( a pipe dream).
As usual, you pnc folks have not thought this plan out in detail. You just jumping up and down shouting out random solutions.
