Maybe Moses needs to make a trip to Canada like he did to Mexico.
Those direct flights to Miami might help move the produce faster to the North American market.
Are you referring to the American Airlines who will be charging a lot more than the existing airlines, then the price for cargo will be higher. Guyana product is good stuff but cannot compare with others when you look at the landed cost. Recently I see a Chinese grocery store Jian Hing at Markham& Lawrence sells a whole lot of fishes from Guyana such as Cuffum, Curass, Catfish, Hourie, Gillbaka, Hassa, grey Snapper Patwa,white belly shrimp just to name a few, and I find the prices very reasonable compare to the West Indian Shops. If you go to the food terminal, you can buy different grade of produce, the Chinese buy the third grade which is cheaper but the SHELF life is much shorter, that's why most of their produce is cheaper.
