Almost two years after the signing in December 2017 of a memorandum of understanding between the Berbice rice giants, Nand Persaud & Company and the University of Guyana for the creation of a $40 million Soil Testing Laboratory at the university’s Tain campus, the company’s Managing Director Mahindra Persaud has signalled that the wait for the completion of the facility is almost over.
During a recent interview with Stabroek Business, Persaud disclosed that the facility, which is set to be a game-changer in terms of enhancing the capability of farmers to make critical soil-related decisions is expected to be opened later this month.
