The Peoples Progressive Party led administration has fulfilled all the commitments made to farmers in the riverine community of Baracara
Agriculture Minister Zulfikar Mustapha traveled to the area on earlier today to deliver on commitments made to farmers there by H.E. President Dr. Irfaan Ali.
As the government moves to develop Guyana’s agriculture sector, farming communities like Baracara are now being given the resources needed to develop the sector and during todays visit by Minister Mustapha, he handed over a tractor with implements, which include a plough and a tractor pump and 20 black tanks to store water for farming.
Prior to today’s visit, farmers also benefited from breeding animals to develop the cattle and small ruminats sector, black giant chicks to develop the poultry sector, and a variety of planting materials and infrastructural upgrades.
Minister Mustapha, while addressing the farmers present, said that the government would spare no effort to ensure the agricultural potential of Baracara and other farming communities across the country are achieved.
He also said that efforts are being made to develop some 400 acres of farm land for red beans cultivation as government moves to make Baracara a mass producer of the lucrative crop.
