Rayburn Jones is one of a community of farmers plying their trade at Mocha on the East Bank of Demerara without the sort of high-profile publicity usually associated with farming in some of Guyana’s more prominent agricultural communities. Jones, a father of four, has been a farmer for most of his life, planting, reaping and wholesaling in a cycle that may be more than a trifle monotonous…that however may be about to change.
His ambitious plan to, one day, create an enterprise that packages sweet potato chips for the domestic and regional markets may have begun to take shape with the support of the National Agricultural Research and Extension Institute. (NAREI).
