Toka in the North Rupununi, Region Nine, is refocusing its attention on agriculture, according to the Department of Public Information (DPI).

The community, which has a population of about 300 Makushi people, is involved in small-scale farming of corn, peanuts, cattle, poultry and bees. 

Delano Davis, Toka Deputy Toshao, said that apart from those crops, most of the households are involved in planting cassava to make farine and cassava bread.
