More progress will be made this year on a swine abattoir, according to a release yesterday from the Ministry of Agriculture.
During a meeting with members of the Guyana Swine Producers’ Association (GSPA), Agriculture Minister, Zulfikar Mustapha said an initial investment was made by the government in 2021 for the setting up of the abattoir.
“Last year we awarded a contract to commence internal works such as utilities, roads, and fencing for $30 million. We have an estimated amount for this year’s budget that was submitted to the Ministry of Finance. Once those funds are approved, we’ll be able to move forward with the project,” Mustapha said.
