Its a pity that you are just plainly stupid. If you had a brain you would realize that a lease to own plan is to ensure that people do farm and that the land isn't used to speculatively sell.  If you don't own the land, but you are leasing it then it is not yours to sell. 

If you are a lessee and you aren't farming then your lease will be canceled and some one who will farm will replace you.  Some one who is just getting into this to sell isn't going to be involved in something that would bar them from full ownership for at least 20 years.

You are also a blatant jackass. Who is the private sector? Not private INDEPENDENT farmers?

Ironically the "private sector" which you will define as the oligarchs will most likely take the sugar lands and turn it into more gated communities to launder their ill gotten gains.  Wealthy Guyanese are speculators, not producers. Just look at all of those big and empty buildings that began to go up under the PPP in G/T.

The govt is making money right now from rice farmers by renting land. If land is given away at a discount, this will only serve to artificially prop up the industry and increase inefficiency.  The industry of agriculture needs to stand on its own, only then will people run it efficiently.
