By: Kiana WilburgWhen it comes to safeguarding the future of the sugar industry, top officials within the sector believe that one of the best options on the table at the moment is diversification.Clive ThomasAlready, plans have been presented to the Government to have lands at the Skeldon Sugar Estate be used for the cultivation of aromatic rice and other hybrid varieties that have a high value on the world market.However, GuySuCo board members have indicated that the plan for diversification will result in social implications which may adversely affect the lives of hundreds of families that depend on the industry for their livelihood.In this regard, Kaieteur News understands that the Guyana Sugar Corporation intends to lease lands to employees who would be made “redundant” to cultivate crops consistent with GuySuCo’s diversification programme, the Green economy and the Regional Food Self Sufficiency philosophies. It foresees that support from the European Union in this regard, may be possible.SEVEN TO THREEAdditionally, GuySuCo once given the green light, intends to get involved in the recruitment of expertise for the reorganization and reengineering of the sugar industry.According GuySuCo board members, “The proposed rationalization of the sugar industry from seven to three estates (Albion, Blairmont and Uitvlugt) is a complex process which requires specialist expertise not available locally. We believe that the entity should take advantage of technical assistance funding available through support agencies such as the European Union (EU) to fund a team with the requisite knowledge, skills and experience for such a project.”SALE OF LANDSAlong with the revival of the sector, the Guyana Sugar Corporation is committed to changing the state of affairs regarding its billion dollar debt. Currently, the company is neck deep in about $80B in debt.With this in mind,NFL Jerseys China, top officials in the company are of the firm view that it should engage in the sale of lands which are not suitable for agricultural purposes. This will also be in keeping with its diversification plans. The GuySuCo Board members stated that the sale of the lands in that regard would generate funds for the reduction of the company’s debt and the financing of its capital programme.As currently structured, the Guyana Sugar Corporation cannot be sustained.If the status quo remains, subsidies exceeding $18B and $20B would be required in the next two years and thereafter. GuySuCo’s board members have come to terms with the reality that the price to turn sugar around is too high. A high level team has since communicated this to Cabinet. During that meeting, members of government were told that even if all the capital was to be provided for the state entity, GuySuCo would remain a significant loss maker. The estimated operating losses would be more than $10B annually.In the circumstances, two Government Ministers told Kaieteur News that based on presentations made by GuySuCo officials, funds injected into the sugar industry would be wasted, if such injection is made in the absence of any plans for restructuring and diversification. The Government officials agreed that radical reorganization and diversification are urgently needed. Recently, GuySuCo Chairman, Dr. Clive Thomas, said that the assets of the industry are “rundown”.He noted that factories, agricultural fleet and field infrastructure were all inherited in a terrible state. GuySuCo Board members said that compounding the issue is the fact that the sugar management and technical support are weak and inexperienced. But one of the priority issues for the Chairman remains reducing the sector’s heavy reliance on bailouts. Dr. Thomas said that the entity hopes to do this through diversification. “What we are projecting is that we would use some funds to pursue the diversification of the industry. We see bailouts rising for about two to three years and then falling dramatically by 2020.The bailouts, or need for it, can fall by 2020. We hope to pursue diversification of some of the estates, one of which includes Wales.” Lending much credence to the Chairman’s position was Anthony Vieira. Vieira who once served as a GuySuCo Board member has been appointed head of the state entity’s Diversification Unit.Vieira agreed that diversification of the sugar industry can bring an end to the sector’s reliance on billion-dollar bailouts. He said that the Unit is currently in the process of coordinating a diversification process with regard to aquaculture and the cultivation of rice. Vieira said that the Unit is awaiting a USA study on the feasibility of GuySuCo’s proposed aquaculture venture.“For the time being, I can say that the people conducting the study believe that this is a very feasible project, and that aquaculture can be many times more profitable than growing cane,” Vieira added A number of options on the way forward for the sugar industry were presented to Cabinet, recently .Speaking on the discussions that occurred in this regard between Government and the team from GuySuCo was Minister of State, Joseph Harmon. Harmon said that the officials presented a number of alternatives regarding the way forward with the sector.The Minister declined, however, to reveal what those “options” were. The options up for consideration include privatization – as recommended in the Commission of Inquiry into GuySuCo – and the most extreme being the closure of the sector. Another recommendation made to Cabinet was on the need to bring an end to the production of bulk sugar at the Skeldon Sugar Estate. Kaieteur News understands that the US$200 million factory is in dire need of costly repairs. “If you only knew the cost to refurbish the factory, it would blow your mind,” the GuySuCo Chairman asserted.“Skeldon needs to be divested. We thought it would have been saved or salvaged by a mechanization project and that was not helpful. Then to get the costs down to competitive levels, moves were made to involve private cane farmers in supplying cane to Skeldon. That, too, did not work. The reality before us is that the factory has lots of faults; it is badly designed and poorly constructed.”Thomas added, “The factory is deteriorating. New steel is needed, some of the furnaces don’t work, some of the boilers don’t work…the factory is just not properly built. The cost for the repairs needed is about, if not over, US$60M ($12B). It is that big of a disaster.” Just recently the sugar sector received a whopping $2B in assistance from the national purse. This financial support is to help meet routine expenditure, and is in relation to the second crop for the sector.The cost to repair Skeldon alone would be six times that bailout. The amount needed to fix the problems facing Skeldon is also more than the $11B ploughed into the sugar industry for the entire year. Government was also presented with the option to diversify Rose Hall /Providence and the East Demerara estates. It was noted that in addition to the Wales Estate, the estates at East Demerara and Rose Hall are underperforming and should be transitioned into diversification.

"He can speak the language," Garrett said. "I think he's getting more and more comfortable saying it. He's run a lot of these plays. He knows these concepts. As much as anything else, it's learning the terminology and learning the nuances of the system."
Dallas (2-1) goes to winless New Orleans this weekend before a visit from Tom Brady and New England. The Patriots went 11-5 in 2008 with Cassel filling in after Brady injured a knee in the opener, although they missed the playoffs.
"I really like what I saw out there today as far as how he handled himself," Jones said. "He wasn't throwing the ball but 15-20 yards,Authentic Jerseys From China, but I thought he made some really good decisions. I think we've got something to work with here."
"The quarterbacks are going to try to throw it to the open guy. Take whatever they give us,China Adidas Hockey Jerseys," said Weeden, who was 22 of 26 for 232 yards. "Just because we haven't thrown the ball down the field doesn't mean we are going to throw it down the field in the next three plays. That is just not logical football."
IRVING, Texas (AP) — Brandon Weeden has completed 10 passes to wide receivers in two starts for the Dallas Cowboys.

Weeden and coach Jason Garrett said Atlanta's coverage schemes dictated the underneath throws,Cheap Jerseys From China. Cole Beasley was the only receiver to catch a pass — he had four for 49 yards — and Terrance Williams was targeted twice without a reception. Those were the only six throws to receivers.
NOTES: The Cowboys waived DT Davon Coleman. Dallas is a week away from the end of four-game suspensions for LB Rolando McClain (substance abuse) and DE Greg Hardy (domestic violence).
With a nine-game losing streak that's tops among current starters and more interceptions (29) than touchdowns (27) for his career, Weeden will have to listen to chatter about whether the recently acquired Matt Cassel is a better fit to lead the Cowboys until Romo returns.
The early running success disappeared with the Falcons stacking the line of scrimmage, the same way the Cardinals did last season while ending NFL rushing champion DeMarco Murray's record streak of eight straight 100-yard games to start a season.
"Not many people make a lot of big plays. That's the style of defense," Garrett said Monday. "There were some opportunities to throw the ball outside to the outside receivers that we didn't take full advantage of. To say we should've thrown it down the field more, I don't know that's accurate."
After Weeden couldn't answer an Atlanta rally with any success down the field in a 39-28 loss Sunday, the natural question was whether the Cowboys trusted their backup enough with Tony Romo sidelined at least six more games with a broken left collarbone.
Even when he had All-Pro Dez Bryant last year against Arizona, he had trouble getting him the ball, with 10 targets and just two completions in a loss.
Besides the interception, the other throw Weeden wanted back was a high toss to an open Witten after the Falcons had cut the last of three 14-point deficits to 28-25 in the third quarter. The Cowboys punted one play later and didn't get another first down until Atlanta was up 11 late in the fourth quarter.
In both cases, Weeden couldn't win with his arm.
"Yes I do," owner and general manager Jerry Jones said after the end of a six-game winning streak in the regular season for the defending NFC East champion. "In general, I bet when we look at it, he stayed within himself. He's probably capable of getting it downfield,cheap nfl jerseys china, too,Cheap Jerseys Wholesale, if they ask him to. I'm not worried. We just have a lot of work to do to stay in the hunt."
After a fast start fueled by the running game, Weeden's first bad decision was an interception that turned the game in the Falcons' favor in the second quarter,jerseys from china, before the Dallas defense quit making stops.
Cassel came in a trade with Buffalo early last week and was inactive against the Falcons. Kellen Moore, who hasn't played in a regular-season game, was the backup. Garrett wouldn't say whether Cassel will be ready this week.
