The Guyana Rice Development Board (GRDB), on Friday held a four-leg outreach in Corentyne, East Berbice with rice farmers.
The Department of Public Information (DPI) said that the team comprised an Entomologist, Agronomist, quality control manager, extension officers and other resource personnel attached to the GRDB.
Farmers of Crabwood Creek, Lesbeholden, BlackBush Polder, Lancaster and Canje Creek used the opportunity to voice their concerns on several issues. DPI said that the most pressing was the problem of drainage and irrigation of the rice farm lands.
