Rice farmers in East Berbice–Corentyne will soon benefit from a better access dam maintenance programme with the addition of a brand-new motor grader to Region Six’s fleet of machines.
Agriculture Minister Zulfikar Mustapha commissioned the grader yesterday at the ministry’s sub-office at Tarlogie on the Corentyne coast.
A press release from the ministry said that the machine was procured for $24 million under the National Drainage and Irrigation Authority’s (NDIA) 2022 capital expenditure programme.
