Prince posted:My father was exporting "copra" to GT to making soap, toffee, and other products from coconuts. At home, he uses to make cassareep and cooking oil from the extracted water. Guyanese only know about cassava cassareep. I believe cheese should have made in Guyana rather than important cheese. Bread and cheese are two homemade products in hundreds of varieties. Egypt alone produced over 500 variety of cheese which I tasted about 50 right here in New York. Only Guyana seem like a country stuck in time.
You can go back to the 70's and find many things that Guyana could have produced rather than import or be deprived of had the PNC government been more concerned with developing the country rather consolidating their black power agenda pushing everyone else to the side. Eventually, those ignored talents shipped themselves out creating the brain drain that is so present all over the Guyana landscape.
