As harvesting for the second crop of 2019 gains momentum, the Guyana Rice Development Board (GRDB) says that paddy prices have risen and farmers are being paid higher prices for paddy sold to mills.
As of yesterday, the GRDB said that millers were paying $53,830 to $41,526 per tonne of paddy. It said that when harvesting began a few weeks ago, paddy prices ranged from $46,140 to $40,000 per tonne.
