With the majority of farms in the Deep South Rupununi inundated due to the early seasonal rain, food security over the next three months is under threat, Michael Thomas, Vice Chairman of the South Rupununi District Council says.
Speaking with Stabroek News yesterday, he explained that most of the farms have been waterlogged since the start of the wet season which began a few weeks ago. On this note, he stated that the majority of the cassava crops are beginning to rot.
