Well, I don't know what business you're in and what hi-value equipment you are importing.  My nephew has an IT development outfit in Guyana and never sought Duty free as there was no hi-value capital outlay and they work for US customers anyway. You cannot just feel free to judge everyone as you would not like to be judged! In the end, the "bread basket" of the Caribbean is importing milk, fruit juices, chicken, plantain chips, etc.  If you don't see something wrong with that, then you are politically blind! All you other tirade is nonsense, not worth the time.  If you are a true businessman, you can answer them yourself!

Not sure how you now jump to IT development. Stick to the issue of milk production. You stated that some businessman wanted concessions in order to produce milk.  You don't see anything wrong with that picture? Concessions equates to tax evasion for many businesses. In fact if you knew Guyanese, you would know that they use powder milk. The market for fresh milk is much smaller and expensive due to the need of refrigeration. 

I don't see how you concluded that I support importation of products that can be made locally. The onus is on the local producers, to produce competitively. The govt is already imposing tariffs on many imports in order to level the playing field for local producers.
