The Guyana Rice Develop-ment Board (GRDB) has provided US$10,000 to Jamaica’s Ministry of Agriculture for the establishment of a seed nursery in preparation for the cultivation of some 5,000 acres of rice on the island for domestic consumption.
Director of the Agricultural Support Project, of Jamaica’s Ministry of Agriculture, Hershell Brown, told Stabroek News during the Regional Agricultural Investment Forum that an officer of the GRDB would be travelling to Jamaica this week to assist with seed production.
