Kuru-Kururu man pursuing lifelong agri dream with non-traditional crops

The face behind the farm – Lumumba Angoy

With an appreciation for Guyana’s agriculture potential and a dream of one day establishing an expansive fruit orchard of his own, one overseas-based Guyanese has returned home to enhance the local agriculture industry with his own venture and is urging other Guyanese to do the same.

A resident of Kuru-Kururu on the Linden/Soesdyke Highway and a former student of President’s College, Lumumba Angoy left Guyana’s shores more than a decade ago to pursue an education and says that he established himself as a certified tax accountant and a small business consultant in the United States.

And like many other Guyanese in the diaspora who wanted to participate in Guyana’s Golden Jubilee of Independence, Angoy returned home, not only to be part of the celebrations but to also begin work on a new business venture in his childhood community of Kuru-Kururu.
