The Ministry of Agriculture says it has been able to secure another contract to supply rice to the Panamanian market for December, 2018 through 2019.
According to a press release from the Ministry, the contract is worth US$5.2 million and will see the supply of 200,000 quintals, equivalent to 9,075 tonnes of white rice, with the first shipment under the new agreement expected to be sent later this month.
The statement from the ministry noted that the signing of the new contract comes after Guyana successfully met its quotas in a timely and consistent manner.
