Santa Fe Farm readying to resume operations

Land preparation for the planting of soyabean and corn being done.

After being hard hit by the COVID-19 pandemic and the resultant constriction of the global supply chain, the Region Nine Santa Fe Farm is preparing to resume work with its eyes set on assisting Guyana to cut its food imports by 2025, Farm Director Eldon Bremner said.

The decision to restart was taken last year following a visit by President Irfaan Ali and several Caricom Heads of State and the company has prepared some 600 acres of land for the planting of soybeans and corn next month.
