Dear Editor,
Flour is a basic food item used by almost 100% of the families in Guyana. For some, it is an important part of their daily diet. Any threat to the regular supply of this item will have a profound effect on the nation. As much as the previous government will never be able to live down its history with the banning of this food item, who in the present government would like to be responsible for a flour shortage?
The issue of price pales in comparison to the issue of availability. The stakes are high indeed. This is no time for half measures or the blame game.
