President Donald Ramotar says that attitudes need to be changed and that people must think more of the bigger picture if the nation is to solve problems of the stricken sugar industry in Guyana
“We can turn this industry to make it a complex and develop rapidly…that was our plan when we invested in our new factory at Skeldon.”
He said that he would be the first to admit that it has not “lived up to its expectation, but we are doing a lot of work there now and I have every confidence that it will— it will emerge as a flagship of this industry.”
The industry will be transformed so that not only does it produce sugar “but many other products by investing more in it, but we need our people to understand that.”
In the past, he said, the industry belonged to foreigners and it helped to build nations abroad and “after nationalization, it helped to develop an undemocratic elite.”
“For the first time, the people have the opportunity of building this industry for themselves and for our country as a whole, and we must not lose this opportunity.”
