Govt to allot 15 small forestry concessions this year – Singh

To enhance the forestry sector’s output, the government will be issuing 15 new, small concessions this year.

According to Minister of Finance Dr Ashni Singh, when the PPP/C government assumed office in 2020, the forestry sector was in a state of despair. At that time, he said, the Guyana Forestry Commission (GFC) was unable to pay salaries and cover other operational costs.
