Is their any truth to this? Not my words!
It is somehow strange that today is the day I decided to write about this sugar matter and Gleaner Jamaica has an article about it. Destined, is what I will say. Jamaica’s sugar mills were long closed so when the Chinese expressed interest in our little old closed sugar mill 50 alarms went off in my head. One thing for sure, the Chinese are very smart people so when the Jamaican media began to sweeten our minds into accepting this 50 year deal, my mind was screaming foul! There is no way the Chinese would seek to acquire our sugar for so long and in doing so would make it beneficial to the Jamaican economy.
Fifty -years is a long time and a lot of impact on a very small island with nothing to really offer China, so why our sugar so sudden? Turns out that at the U.N summit a few weeks ago, SUGAR was a big topic, why? There is a huge demand for sugar and the only country that has surplus in their reserves is the U.S.A. Sugar will be booming for a while, it produces ethanol which is in high demand right now . Check this article HERE
I feel robbed,disappointed, like a fool because we have been taken for a ride once again. So the sugar deal isn’t a sweet one after all? Our government sold us out again, for 50 lousy pieces of silver. It would have been too hard to raise our own dead? I am quite sure we will be the ones to pay for the funeral in full. Fifty years , at the end of these 50 years I will be dead I am sure and so will the ones who made this lousy deal . The generations after us will be in debt all over again and China will continue supplying the world.
