By Kiana A. WilburgSeveral members of the Opposition delivered impassioned presentations yesterday on its motion regarding the state of the rice industry. The motion was read by Opposition Parliamentarian, Irfaan Ali.Opposition member, Irfaan AliAli reminded his members on the eastern side of the House that the PPP always saw rice as the Government’s business. He said that the PPP has a comprehension of what the social and economic contributions of rice are to the country and to its people.He also reminded House Speaker,wholesale nfl jerseys, Dr. Barton Scotland that the Government on its campaign trail,cheap nfl jerseys wholesale, made several promises to the rice farmers,china jerseys cheap, one of which includes, that instead of $3000,cheap jerseys free shipping, they would receive approximately $9000 for a bag of rice. Ali said since the Government failed to keep its promise, it is only logical to conclude that such a pledge was only designed to fool and deceive the rice farmers.The Member of Parliament said, “Mr. Speaker, now you cannot believe anything this Government says and further, everything it does is for a select few.”The PPP Executive Member explained that instead of rice farmers now hoping for the $9,000 per bag, they are now wondering if they will ever see the price they were getting under the rule of the PPP/C.Bringing some global context to his arguments, Ali contended that in the United States Department of Agriculture’s Situation and Outlook Report dated April 14, 2016, production forecasts for 2015/2016 were lowered for Brazil, Pakistan, the Philippines and Vietnam, while they were raised for Senegal and Sierra Leone.Ali argued,cheap nfl jerseys for sale, “This situation presents an opportunity for us. Therefore, it is very essential and imperative that we work with farmers and producers to ensure that we continue to produce increasingly with the intentions to meeting shortages.”He added, “I know competitiveness is a constraint; however it is the duty and the role of the Government as a facilitator to design and implement policies that will lower production costs for farmers and producers and ultimately augment productivity.”The Opposition member stressed that Government cannot sit idly by and say that,cheap nfl jerseys black friday, “Rice is not government’s business.”Ali also informed the house that the International Rice Research Institute,wholesale nfl jerseys china, forecasts the production of rice to be approximately 469 million tons for 2017/2018 and 489 million tons for 2018/2019. He said that the required production is estimated to be approximately 485 million tons for 2017/2018 and 490 million tons for 2018/2019.Ali believes that Guyana can play a major role in offsetting this shortage in production and help bring the market into equilibrium. He said, however, that the Government needs to take the rice sector seriously. He emphasised that the Government must do an analysis and develop the right policies that will encourage and facilitate the growth in the sector.The Opposition Member also spoke on Guyana’s exports to Venezuela.He said that it is discernable that the relationship between the Government and that of Venezuela did not start off on the right footing. He believes, however, that the current administration should resume talks with the Spanish-speaking territory on the exportation of rice and paddy.Furthermore, Ali said that the total export earnings for white rice and paddy to Venezuela for the period 2012 to 2015 were US$504M. He said that it is important to point out that exports to Venezuela in 2015 were a measly 22 percent.The Opposition Member said that what the nation is seeing now is the outcome of this reduction and eventually if moves are not made to repair relations with Venezuela,nfl jerseys cheap authentic, then impacts of the reduction will soon be seen.He told the House that a quick analysis shows that a total of $11B or US$57 in revenue was lost due to the failure of the Government to secure this market. He said if one were to factor in the indirect and induced revenue lost, one can estimate the total loss of revenue to be somewhere around $22B.Given the aforementioned, Ali argued that the Government’s incompetence in the sector is costing the nation billions of dollars, and he stressed that the administration must implement the Opposition’s recommendations.He listed these to be: resume talks and negotiations with the Government of Venezuela, remove all forms of taxes and duties on fuel for the industry, and remove all taxes and duties on imports for the industry including machinery, equipment and spares.Ali proposed that the Government work with the financial institutions to refinance loans to farmers and suspend payments of land leases. The Parliamentarian also called on the Government to lay a supplementary provision in the National Assembly to provide financial support to the farmers in order to aid in the purchase of seed paddy and fertilizer.He also asked for Government to immediately implement a minimum export price for rice and paddy, execute an aggressive marketing strategy to secure lucrative markets and withdraw its statement that “rice is not the Government’s business.”There were other speakers on the matter such as Opposition Members, Anil Nandlall and Priya Manickchand. PPP Member,cheap nfl jerseys china, Dharamkumar Seeraj was also one of the speakers on the issue. He and others are expected to provide their concluding arguments on Ali’s motion come May 24.
