Guyana’s abundant land and freshwater supplies for agriculture places it an enviable position to take advantage of the increased demand for food globally and in the Caribbean Community (Caricom), President David Granger said yesterday as he opened two farm to market roads in Parika, Essequibo Islands-West Demerara (Region Three).
According to a Ministry of the Presidency report, President Granger also stressed that Region Three, as a “power house” in the agriculture sector, is well poised to make a significant contribution in this regard.
The Ministry said the roads are two of four farm to market roads that make up the Access Dams/Roads Rehabilitation Project funded under an agreement between the Government of Guyana and the Caricom Development Fund (CDF), which was initially signed in July, 2013, to the tune of US$9.09M.
