Jamaican businesses supplying stones to Guyana but demand remains high

Companies in Jamaica have responded to the Guyana government’s call for foreign suppliers of stone but the demand for the material remains greater than is available, Minister of Public Works, Juan Edghill disclosed on Monday.

The booming construction sector has resulted in stone and sand suppliers significantly increasing their prices. Minister Edghill, during an interview with the News Room, noted that the government remains committed to engaging suppliers to resolve the issue.

“They have started to receive supply…so far I know the supplies that came is from Jamaica.

“We have contracts and we have engaged people. We have thousands of tonnes that have come in. I don’t think what is here is anywhere near to satisfy the demand but we received supplies,” Minister Edghill said.
