Guyana’s agricultural sector can anticipate various types of assistance from the local office of the Food & Agriculture Organization (FAO) as the UN agency proceeds with the execution of its mandate as the body responsible for celebrating 2021 as the designated International Year of Fruits and Vegetables (IYFV).
While, more than two months into IYFV, the local Ministry of Agriculture is yet to unveil its own programme to mark the global celebration of fruits and vegetables, a release from the FAO’s Georgetown office lists various ways in which it stands ready to support Guyana’s IYFV commemorative programme. Following a conversation with the local FAO office, the Stabroek Business has agreed to partner with the agency in the promotion of events associated with IYFV.
