It has to saturate every avenue of its use and still hope for some luck to make it a stable income generating source. Rice is not competitive for the people with three acres depending on someone else s tractor etc. For farmers with over 50 acres it is quite feasible. Each acres can net close to 1k US in 6 weeks and three times a year in favorable times.

Then instead of playing monday morning quarterback, describe how the farmer can be competitive with other world producers.  If you don't have a solution then stop playing a know it all. 

Dude, you are just a nitwit ninny. Our rice is not prohibitive on the world market. Our financial system and marketing strategies are deficient. I do not know it all but what I know is light years from where you stand.

Stop avoiding the question and answer why Guyana's rice is not competitive on the world market. Why are other nations producing rice cheaper and what can Guyanese farmers do to increase yield and decrease expense.  This is the conundrum that needs to be resolved, not a ranting about rice flour and value added derivatives to compensate for inefficiencies in production. 

Where have I avoided the question? You have 7000 farmers producing 400000 tons of rice that means given a rough estimation they average five acres per farmers. It is not output but economies of scale. Rice on the world market fluctuates like anything else and in 2015 reached a low of 350 a ton but the Guyanese farmers are clamoring for 9000 per bag of paddy. It is about expectations over reaching reality.  Rice is not a scarce commodity. One has to specialize to gain benefits...ie producing organic rice, basmatti or increasing the diversity of product as we stated above.

 

You nah no nuttin bout rice. Stik wid cassava and piwari.

I know more than you since we were planting since I can remember. You on the other hand was still in the logie when that was happening

Dis buckman leff Guyana when he bin hang he battie off ah bridge and shit. Now he was planting rice. You would not know a logie if you saw one . You will probably call it a mansion...just like the sakawinki parrot. I lived in a town where most people had a plot of rice land. I planted rice manually and cut rice manually with a haaswa(you don't even now what a haaswa is). You doan no shit about rice. You spew hot air here. You should be in the hot air balloon business.

Sorry, was born to the owner of the  house on the "hill" that rented lands  to you coolies so you can earn your daily bread.

 

 

Yeah, they rented the rooms in the house and you slept in the latrine. What a concept!
