The Ministry of Agriculture will collaborate with the New Guyana Marketing Corporation (GMC) on its new ‘Grow More’ initiative to implement a farming model that will meet the supply and demand of locally grown produce.
According to a press release from the United States Agency for International Development/Guyana Trade and Investment Support (USAID/GTIS) project, the ministry noted that the new campaign was not the first time focus has been placed on farmers growing more produce. However, it said, it was the first market-led approach that uses specific in-demand crops. This technique is being implemented for crops for both local consumption and for export.
