..remaining $60M to be paid in weeksPresident of the Guyana Rice Producers Association (GRPA), Leekah Rambrich, has said that post-dated cheques were issued last Friday to most of the unpaid Black Bush Polder (BBP) rice farmers who were owed millions of dollars by Mahaicony Rice Mills farmer, Surinamese national,Cheap World Cup Jerseys 2018, Mr. Jai Beni.The GRPA President, speaking to Kaieteur News, said that these farmers would have been able to encash these cheques yesterday. He revealed that $80M in post-dated cheques were issued to most of the farmers. The remaining $60M owed by Beni would be paid within two weeks.Two weeks ago, irate BBP farmers protested, blocked the roads and burned tyres because of almost $140 million owed to them by a Black Bush Polder miller since last year.After being told that the Manager of the Black Bush Rice Mill was not around, several rice farmers became irate and started to burn wood,Cheap NFL Jerseys China, tyres and other debris on the road leading to the factory. After that incident, General Secretary of the GRPA, Mr. Dharam Kumar Seeraj stated that Beni was given a few days to pay the farmers, or his assets would be seized and he would be taken to court.Rambrich said that Beni “had a late transfer through a bank—they had to establish a bank transaction from some people in Jamaica, and that was what actually delayed the transfer, and that’s what caused the set- back.”“Jai Beni gave us the assurance that the post- dated cheques would be cashed on Wednesday (yesterday).”But not all the farmers would be paid. Some paddy was shipped out to BBP over the weekend, and Rambrich said that the remaining farmers that are owed $60M would be paid “in a matter of a week or two—that was related to us from the General Manager of the GRPA.”Rambrich noted his concerns about such late payments and what it is doing to the industry. “On Friday in BBP, I saw a huge gathering of people at the rice mill and I stopped to investigate what was going on, because they were supposed to be paid.”He said that upon his intervention, he was told by farmers that no individual from the GRPA came to listen to their complaints, or to see what was happening. Immediately, he telephoned Georgetown and intervened.“But I became very annoyed, because you have over 200 people wasting their day—these people could have gone and do some other work, you know, and you are frustrating farmers, and this is not good from an industrial point of view.”Another bumper crop expectedRambrich said that at present, most of the crop is at the heading stage. He added that farmers are anticipating a “very good crop.” Over 600,000 tonnes of paddy,Cheap Jerseys China, he added, are being anticipated at the national level when harvesting does occur.“The crop looks good in the fields, and once the weather prevails,China Jerseys Cheap, we can harvest a good crop.”The Corentyne rice miller credited the high anticipated output to the large expansion rice is currently undergoing especially in the Kokerite Savannahs in Black Bush Polder where more homesteads are being converted into rice cultivation.Rambrich added that currently in Berbice, 62,000 acres are under cultivation—the highest ever being cultivated. He added that Region Six has more lands that can accommodate rice farming as well.One challenge facing the industry, he said, is the late payments to farmers. “Then we are foreseeing for this (Spring) crop that there will be a lot of paddy in the system; farmers would face a hard time getting their paddies out, due to the huge lines at the mill—we can foresee that coming.”Speaking about prices, Rambrich said that from the way the market trends are going, “We can safely say that the prices can remain the same during the next crop, or dip a little—not too much.”“Now that the government is bringing in (fertilizers), the private sector prices drop real down to $5,Wholesale NFL Jerseys,200.” This was opposed to $6,Jerseys NFL Cheap,000 per bag by private sellers during the time when the government did not import the item for sale to farmers. “Government importing fertilizers plays a major role in the assistance to farmers.”Rambrich, a popular miller along the Corentyne, a few months ago also cultivated his variety of rice called the Bengal Aromatic Rice, which is doing very well on the market.
