Under the Green Farms Initiative, a greenhouse covering three acres at Plympton Farms was officially commissioned on November 24 at Dora along the Linden Highway and the project aims to cut food imports for offshore oil platforms to 5% of total needs.

A release yesterday from Sagacity Inc said that the Green Farms Initiative is a tripartite agreement between SBM Offshore Guyana – the builder of offshore oil platforms –  Plympton Farms and a local catering company, Newrest Guyana, under which SBM Offshore Guyana provided financial and advisory support for the construction of a greenhouse based on Plympton’s proprietary design employing cutting-edge technology and a sustainable hydroponics system.
