Aquaculture operations – VIEIRA

“It is why the Government of Guyana, faced with the problems it now faces in the sugar industry, and the political problems it represents to the electorate – in this case, nearly 50% – must think very seriously about GuySuCo’s diversification and continuity, since they must dip into the consolidated fund to establish the aquaculture industry, but it is not only economically feasible, which cane is not, it’s a political imperative that they provide employment to people who have given their lives to that industry; in any event small scale aquaculture operations very rarely succeed.”

“For it to succeed, you must integrate everything, manufacture the feed, process the fish to fillets, fly it to the US markets as fresh catch within 36 hours of catch packed in ice and not frozen, etc.”
