Farmers in Berbice now have access to a soil and disease testing lab that could possibly help increase rice yields after the Nand Persaud Group of Companies in collaboration with the University of Guyana’s Tain Campus yesterday commissioned the facility.
The brand new building is located in the compound of the Johns Science Centre located in Tain Village, Corentyne, Berbice, and will facilitate testing at a cost of $6,000.
Rajendra Persaud, Chairman of the Nand Persaud Group of Companies, told those gathered yesterday that the company understands that in order for its business to survive, it needs to embark on a partnership in the sense that “We need to have everybody profitable, making money and in that way it becomes sustainable and it continues to go on for life”.
