Dear Editor,
Our ailing sugar industry has been attracting numerous diagnoses and prescriptions from many well-meaning ‘experts’, friends and serious stakeholders who should all be complimented for their genuine interest in Guyana’s historically foremost and currently still very important industry.
A quick survey of the several offerings of solutions will reveal a natural tendency to approach problems from one’s own ‘comfort zone’ or ‘frame of reference’ or one’s own professional, practical knowledge and experience.
Given the multi-dimensional nature of GuySuCo, I wish to stress the critical importance of a multi-disciplinary, widely-experienced as well as fresh forward-looking professionals, not only as members of the proposed committee of inquiry, but as potential members of the new Board of Directors to lead the early, effective implementation of pragmatic recommendations for the resuscitation of the industry.
Yours faithfully,
Nowrang Persaud
