With a small but steady demand for its products in Orealla, the Orealla Farmers Association is now attempting to break ground into new markets both locally and internationally.
The nine-year-old association has mounted a booth at this year’s Berbice Exposition and Trade Fair, currently being held at the Albion Sports Complex, with the aim of attracting new and potential customers. According to the association’s chairperson Janice Herman, they are currently supplying cassava cassareep, pine chunks, crab oil and cassava bread to individual families and small businesses in Orealla, and feel the time is right to expand out of the community.
