Plank Brands and Retailers. A few recommended (or not) makers of plank vinyl, plus mini-reviews: Shaw: Shaw, with its Premio and Classico lines, is in the upper echelon of LVP makers. While Shaw has thick (6.5 mm) and gorgeous LVP, take note that not every line is top shelf--notably the Aviator and Navigator lines.
Photo by: Kheng Guan Toh. Guyana's economy is dominated by the production and processing of primary commodities, of which sugar, gold and bauxite are the most important. Much of the country is undeveloped, with more than 90% of the population and almost all of the agriculture concentrated in the narrow coastal plain. The interior is sparsely settled, and communications are poor.
Peasant Farming in Guyana. Peasant farming refers to a type of small scale agriculture. Peasant farmers grow crops and often rear some livestock on a small scale. Some of the produce is used to feed the family and the surplus is sold. In Guyana, many farmers practice this type of agriculture on the narrow coastal plain. An average peasant farm in Guyana is less than 10 acres in size. The farmer and family members provide most of the labour.
