Minister of Agriculture Zulfikar Mustapha yesterday assured that Guyana is on target in relation to the 25 per cent reduction of the regional food import bill by 2025, since the country is producing all of its livestock feed.
At a year-end press briefing at the Ministry of Agriculture where the overall performance of the agriculture sector for 2023 was discussed, the minister said that Guyana is reducing its dependency on imports, with approximately 10,000 acres of corn and soya bean being produced in 2023.
Mustapha highlighted that Guyana is diversifying its agriculture sector with the introduction of new crops to ensure food security.
