Following onion trials by small farmers, large-scale production of the commodity in Guyana has been deemed feasible, the Department of Public Information (DPI) reported on Saturday.

DPI said the prognosis was delivered after partnering agencies, the National Agricultural Research and Extension Institute (NAREI) and the World University Service of Canada (WUSC) conducted  pilot projects in several parts of Guyana.

The project was carried out in Regions Two, Three, Four, Five, Six and Ten.
