As the construction of government’s mega drying facility in Region Ten forges ahead, the Tacama Gold mega-farm is preparing to reap a second successful crop of soybean and both are even more optimistic of reaching desired targets.
“The large silos and drying facility are not yet completed, but we are preparing to reap by the end of this month… It is looking real good,” Director of Tacama Gold David Fernandes told Stabroek News on Friday when contacted for an update.
Minister of Agriculture Zulfikar Mustapha told this newspaper that for the end-of-March crop, some 1,200 tonnes of soyabean will be reaped and that by the end of this year, planting of the crop will increase to about 3,000 acres. He praised the producers for their hard work and dedication.
