Sugar Shock

Ever since I read this article on the Sugar Industry I wanted to write on it but the whole JET fiasco was ongoing... and well I wanted to say put the money here instead but then Arthur Lok Jack told the Nation that the money wouldn't go here even if they eh buy the JET... so I didnt worry.... but flicking through the channels I happened upon Shelly Dass hosting the Big Story with guest Balliram Maharaj, owner of Arima Discount Mart and a former president of the Supermarkets Association, saying that SUGAR went up and he didnt know why???

I dont know why either... didnt we used to produce this? and I thought the most essential part of being 'FIRST WORLD' is being able to adequately provide for yourself... so if these guys only need a lil help to FIX/Refurbish the Refinery so we can provide enough for ourselves and also export/sell a little isnt this a good thing...

Being the GREAT businessman he is, Mr. Lok Jack could certainly recognize that while the money doesnt mean new hospital beds it can certainly aid the SUGAR industry that still seems viable... at least on a National Level...

If we can't see about ourselves... what is your purpose... or is it that this is the exact thinking of the Government or those who have been charged with the responsibility of seeking the Nation's interest... they only seeing about themselves... and not the Nation...

  1. Sugar cane is the best commodity affordable. It is the next best renewable fuel/energy. It take 1 litre or oil to produce 8 litres of ethanol from sugar cane. Meanwhile it take 1 litre of oil to produce 1 litre of ethanol from corn. You do the math which will you invest in???
