There is much that both the Government of Guyana as well as the local business sector can learn from the recent protestations of a prominent Jamaican firm, ARC Manufacturing, which specializes in the manufacture of various types of construction materiel, which the company says, is being imported into the country at the expense of its own offerings.
The company’s concern, its Manager for Sales and Marketing, Devon Brooks’ suggests, revolves around the fact that “cheap imports is taking away a huge share of the business,” according to a November 10 Jamaica Observer report.
ARC Manufacturing, the report says, is also concerned that beyond its own entrepreneurial interests it is also worried about the hurt that inferior imports is inflicting on Jamaica’s construction sector as a whole.
