T&T looking at rice research and agro-processing in Guyana

GEORGETOWN, Guyana – Agro-processing and rice production and research are among the options Trinidad and Tobago is pursuing under its mega-farm initiative in Guyana. This is according to Trinidad and Tobago’s minister within the Ministry of Food Production Jairam Seemungal who on Thursday hosted a media briefing with Agriculture Minister Dr. Leslie Ramsammy in Georgetown. Seemungal is here for a follow up meeting on discussions aimed at establishing an arrangement that would see Trinidadian businesses investing in farming in Guyana with the government as facilitator. However, the officials were coy on what has been decided with Dr. Ramsammy saying that details could emerge in two weeks’ time.
