The National Agricultural Research and Extension Institute (NAREI) last Thursday donated five different varieties of sweet potato slips to the Guyana Prison Service (GPS) for cultivation at the Mazaruni and Lusignan prisons.
A NAREI press statement said the slips, which comprised the “Professor,” “Strongman,” “Vanilla,” “Coggle” and “Beauregard” varieties, are to be cultivated on a portion of land at the Lusignan Prison and on one acre of farmland at the Mazaruni Prison.
