If they don't have bread, let them eat brioche. Yep.
What this company has to do is foot the bill to keep the access open and safe during construction. Ask the contractors, they can build covered wooden runways like they do when building down town.

Sometimes local products are more expensive by design.
Take for example, jams and jellies, they are easy to make. But the imports are duty free, the local person has to pay 45% duty on glass jars, so his product will always be more.
Carrots are easy to grow. But when you have to buy soil, fertilizer, and spend countless hours growing them, it is cheaper to buy at the store.

Oh great, one more way to victimize people.
But the premise is wrong, spouses do not have citizenship pending for 5 years. The path is that they can apply for permanent residency (no right to to vote), apply, apply--it is not even automatic.
Just show your xenophobia, call it like it is, 'paper bahamians'.
But , while you are at it, let them wait 5 years to get a passport, open a bank account and get vaccinated.
Well governments have hardly ever helped the agro business. That is why the chicken and eggs business were anihilated.
What does bamsi produce or do? It was just a slush fund.
Also the govt has to get the public to buy into it. Like, eat sweet potato and forget rice.
They tried growing tea in Turkey for 100 years and it was not until the public was asked to switch to tea as a patriotic gesture during wartime coffee shortage that it became the national drink.
Some idiots were on the radio saying they planned to grow rice in Andros.

The counterpart of that is to stock up on the items which price have not increased.
I stocked up on alcohol and vinegar in the beginning of the lockdown and it saw me through until the price stabiized. Tho the vinegar did go up.
