Regardless, when the GoG opens land to its populace, it is open to all and sundry. 

Open land to do what? Check any developing nation and the poorest people are the small peasant farmers and millions have moved to huge mega cities to escape this rural poverty.

I need only to look at GNI. Large numbers of people here come from a rural farming background. NONE of them are still involved. Why?

The notion that sending people from G/T to go plant a few vegetables is going to solve their problems is nonsense.  They know nothing of farming and the Guyana gov't is ill equipped to teach them or to fund their ventures until they become self supporting.

You must be joking. The wealth of the Indo rice farmers is legendary. Regardless, real estate is scarce simply because they don't make more of it. Who said anything about sending people from GT to plant a few vegetables? Do you think the people who rushed to the polders that Forbes opened had agricultural background? Many of them went and learned on the job. Do you understand that Black Bush Polder is one of the largest rice producing areas in the world? Don't make stupid excuses and try to justify them with your usual vague BS.
