MUSTAPHA ASSURES SUPPORT FOR ESSEQUIBO COAST RICE SECTOR

Rice farmers on the Essequibo Coast were this week assured that the government will support them with diversifying into other agricultural activities as authorities expand support for the rice industry. Agriculture Minister Zulfikar Mustapha visited the region where he engaged the farmers and said that rice remains a central pillar of the economy. He reminded that the government has set aside almost $1.5 billion to build a silo there, which will support the sector. Additionally, improved seed varieties, drainage and irrigation works, and other support measures aimed at boosting production are underway.
