Back in 2015, it had taken little or no time after ExxonMobil’s first oil disclosure for public reactions to materialise.

As markedly ramped up bilateral ties between Guyana and   Suriname arising out of their new-found oil resources unfold, relations at the level of the private sector on both sides would also appear to be growing.  

With considerations of occupational health and safety becoming increasingly critical across the sectors in a transforming Guyana socio-economic environment, Global People’s Services & Management Consultants Inc (GPSM)  will be delivering an eight-day Emergency Response Training Programme for employees of Aurora Gold Mines Ltd.

At a time when Caribbean food security has again surfaced as one of the more urgent concerns on the regional agenda, there are signs that part of the solution to this challenge reposes in taking a closer look at the fruits and vegetables grown in most territories in the region as at least a partial solution to what has become a key concern.

Reports that Venezuela’s oil sector appears to be seeking an unlikely near-term recovery, in the face of sustained efforts by the United States to further squeeze the Maduro administration through an embargo that restricts oil exports are beginning to appear increasingly credible, according to reports in the international oil and gas media.

More than either Washington or Caracas might have expected may have materialised out of the recent visit to Venezuela by a delegation of US officials, ostensibly to seek the release from custody of a handful of US oil officials and military personnel.

What had already been a tenuous global food security circumstance prior to the onset of the Russia/Ukraine conflict is likely to grow worse and poor countries in the western hemisphere that had been facing food shortages long prior to the outbreak of the hostilities are now likely to be thrown into “the eye of the storm” according to a recent World Bank Assessment.

Russia’s attack on Ukraine has unleashed broad economic and political rebukes and corporate withdrawals by banks, technology and other firms unprecedented in their extent.

With several Caribbean Community (CARICOM) countries now having openly admitted that the fallout from Russia’s invasion of Ukraine will impact – to an extent that is still unclear – on the food security of the region, the question arises once again as to whether the region, as a whole, does not continue to ‘play monopoly’ with its food security to an extent that seriously threatens to retard its development, pushing us even further behind much of the rest of the international community than we are at this time.
