With local farmers yielding successful results from the ongoing trial cultivation of both potatoes and onions, Chief Executive Officer (CEO) of the National Agricultural Research & Extension Institute (NAREI) Dr. Oudho Homenauth says Guyana’s importation of the commodities could be significantly reduced in the next three to five years.
In an interview with Stabroek News, Dr. Homenauth said the second trial cultivation is still in progress at different locations around the country, and so far many farmers have yielded successful results.
