Why dont you come up with something sensible for once.......you want to grow the economy on the backs of the poor and needy?

The Minister is perfectly right to issues these licences.

15 IMPORTATION LICENCES ISSUES FOR CHICKEN

– to ensure availability of chicken on local market
MINISTER of Tourism, Industry and Commerce Mr. Manniram Prashad has reiterated Government’s commitment to ensuring the availability of chicken on the local market. “As a responsible Government, we have to take every action necessary to make sure that chicken is available on the local market at affordable prices,” Minister Prashad told members of the media at his office yesterday.
In addressing the issue of the shortage on the local market, the Ministry of Tourism, Industry and Commerce has been issuing licences for the importation of foreign chicken and, thus far, 15 licences have been issued, Minister Prashad said.
“Even though the Poultry Producers’ Association is telling us that this situation is coming back to normal, at the end of September, we are not taking any chances,” he said.
The ministry expects that during September, with the poultry producers’ promise of normalcy and with the chicken being imported, there will be a surplus which will result in a decrease in the price for chicken.
“We will continue to monitor the situation carefully and continue giving licences to importers of chicken until we see a situation of normalcy,” Prasad said.
He also promised Government’s continued commitment and engagement with the Poultry Producers’ Association and the hatcheries to promote and encourage local production of chicken. (GINA)

This issue of chicken shortage is being addressed correctly and proactively. Finally the PPP doing something right. The local producers should be on top of their game, producing at a reasonable cost and in sufficient quantities to meet demand. If they falter, there is always the threat of importing, this should keep them honest.

I agree, but Guyana should have been a big net exported of such things, so in the periods of domestic peak, they should be in a posiiton to reduce exports and fill any foreign obligations with external sources.

That is the realm of the private enterprise, people like gmoney and others, not govt or PPP as you like to blame for any and every shortfall in the nation.
