Me too but I read the Nature link and BBC science. Guyana has always been pretty self sufficient.

See it yah

Out of 186 countries, only Guyana produces enough food to self-sufficiently feed all its citizens without foreign imports, according to new research.

The study, published in Nature Food, investigated how well each country could feed their populations in seven food groups: fruits, vegetables, dairy, fish, meat, plant-based protein and starchy staples.

Worldwide, the study found that 65 per cent of countries were overproducing meat and dairy, compared to their own population’s dietary needs.


For all his glaring faults, this was Burnham’s long term goal.
Give di damn man his credit.

It also found that Guyana, located in South America, was the only country that could boast total self-sufficiency, while China and Vietnam were close behind, being able to produced enough food in six out of seven food groups.

Just one in seven of the tested countries were judged self-sufficient in five or more categories.

Seriously? He died in 1985, it is now 2025.
It is the goal of every leader since the beginning of time. There really is no relevance.
