The Berbice ferry will stimulate agricultural activity

Dear Editor,

I was pleased to read that the Berbice River ferry service will be resumed before year-end.(SN, 27.5.08) This service will be a great boost to both small and large farmers along this river and will be the catalyst for renewed agricultural and other economic activities.

For example, the Brandwagt/Sari project, which has some of the most fertile lands anywhere in Guyana, failed mainly because of the high market to farm costs.
