We in North America can purchase several products that are made with rice. The government should invest and or encourage private investors to set up factories to use rice in products, such as; RICE FLOUR, RICE CAKE, CEREAL,RICE CANDY, and best of all RICE WINE ,these are just a few that can be manufactured right in Guyana. The lost market can be recaptured right in Guyana processing.Food for thought, any  comments.

Rice flour is a hot commodity with the exploding demand for gluten free products in North America, Europe and other parts of the world. It is also expensive and will most likely be a profitable venture. However, as soon as you mention rice flour, some people will start talking about Burnham's ghost still haunting them 30 years after he died.

Saki, is an expensive drink, we can export to the Chinese and Japanese market. Like the saying goes" get lemon, make lemonade".

Rice planting in Asia is huge,firstly Guyanese farmers have

to compete with the price,they are saying it's not

profitable.

Sometimes I feel, no matter what Guyanese rice farmers are paid, they will not be happy.

There seems to be little  harmony with some neighbouring growers. They tend to compete too much, instead of supporting each other, for better crops and prices.

 

The sugar industry seems to be the same. If  a gang worker is injured on the job, instead of gang members taking time off to give evidence for his worker's compensation, the injured man is told to continue working, until the end of the day.

This tend to fragment their effort for better health services.

I own a small business for the past seven years,and deal with

a lot of consequences,adjusting to market trends that affect

the business financially.

 

I pinpoint Rice flour is marketable,in Guyana when they hear

that word,they say "oh me gaad they guh ban flower"i heard

that from a friend in Berbice,when Granger mentioned rice

flour.

There are the consequences.

 

1.  The rice industry is PRIVATELY owned.  It isn't a state owned corporation.

 

2.  State ownership and control of productive sectors NEVER works, with Guysuco being an example.

 

3.  Guyana is much less efficient in production of rice than are others, so cannot compete to get into most markets.

 

4.  Given that rice is PRIVATELY owned, either they improve their efficiency, find other products with higher margins, or be driven out of business.  If rice flour has higher margins, then that is what they will have to do, assuming of course that there is a market for the product.

The government and the rice sectors

OCTOBER 30, 2015 | BY  | FILED UNDER EDITORIALFEATURES / COLUMNISTS 

Over the past decade under the PPP, the productive sectors in the Guyanese economy were crippled.  We had bumper production in rice, but how productive was the industry?  The PPP did very little to improve productivity. If it were not for the lucrative Venezuelan market, the industry would have melted since 2008.
Last year, it cost on average G$1,700 to produce and deliver a bag of paddy to the mill.  The millers then offered on average G$3,500 per bag of paddy to the farmers.  If this paddy was shipped to Venezuela, the millers earn about G$8,650 per bag of paddy.  The bottom line was – because of Hugo Chavez, everybody made money in the rice sector and very few paid attention to improving its productivity.
Today, it still costs $1,700 to produce and deliver a bag of paddy at the mill gate but with a now dead “Chavista” deal, millers are now earning about 50 percent of what they earned in 2014.  As the pain trickles down, the farmers can expect about G$1,800 per bag from the millers. This is not good business for the small rice farmers and it means many of them will have no choice but to rest the land for the 2016 Spring Crop unless relief arrives. Horrible socio-economic situation.
We desperately need foreign currency from the rice export trade to continue to fund our imports.  With prices and export volumes both falling, the trade balance from the rice sector will deteriorate. This will have a direct adverse impact on our balance of payment, which will adversely impact the nation’s foreign reserves.
Can we afford this situation?  Not when there is the additional impact of some level of unemployment in the industry as a result of the small farmers resting their lands. Those who are lucky can utilize their six months visa as a mitigating strategy to ride this out, but that does not help the Guyanese economy.
Clearly, the economic impact of this situation is not a private sector affair but a national crisis since it will directly affect our GDP growth for 2015.  This rice crisis demands some State intervention to ameliorate the impending hardship that will visit the homes of thousands of small rice farmers in the upcoming months as many of them engage in a tryst with privation.
When the government was appointed, they appointed a new GRDB Chairman Mr. Claude Housty, and they sold him as an expert in the rice export market.  To date, he has not outlined his plans for the GRDB.  Included in the GRDB’s mission statement is the function “â€Ķto market riceâ€Ķ.for international marketsâ€Ķ.while providing foreign exchange earnings.” Where are the new markets to replace the now lost Venezuelan markets Mr. Housty?
But the more long term challenge is how can we all will work to enhance the productivity in the industry.  As an immediate step to motivate the small farmers, a stimulus bill needs to be laid in the National Assembly offering some help similar to what was offered to the gold mining sector – temporary duty free fuel for one or two crops.
If this situation is not skillfully addressed by the Ministry of Agriculture, more Guyanese will lose their income stream in the months to come. It is the duty of the government to put policies in place to prevent hard working people from losing their homes and their right to a livelihood.
In that rice industry stimulus bill, clear strategies have to be outlined around what will be done in the form of the drainage and irrigation system, state sponsored storage facilities to tide farmers through periods of slack markets, financial support to help small farmers set up their own small mills grounded in a co-operative movement.
The current meltdown in the rice industry is only part of a larger meltdown, and a stimulus bill in the National Assembly is only one attempt to  fix a larger developmental challenge.  But we have to start now, not tomorrow.

If the rice industry is not profitable because too much production is on small acreages, than it makes sense to redirect these farmers to other crops where they can be more competitive.

 

The CARICOM food bill is why, so why doesnt Guyana finally take advantages of these opportunities.  Especially as there is an increasing demand from tourists at the higher end facilities for organic food.

 

Leave rice production for the larger, more highly mechanized farms. That is if Guyanese rice farmers do not want to share the fate of banana farmers in islands like St Vincent, and St Lucia, where they were similarly not able to compete against large scale producers, and so couldnt survive outside of preferential markets.

You have been drinking too much. There is not suggestion that my advice will save anything. Rice cannot be sold as a one product and be successful. 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.

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.
