Farmers across Guyana from Regions One, Two, Three, Four, Five, Six and Nine, along with students and other private sectors partners, began training yesterday, in Aquaculture Technology.
According to a Department of Public Information (DPI) press release, this programme was made possible through a collaboration between the governments of Guyana and China.
Ministry of Agriculture’s Permanent Secretary (PS), Delma Nedd, spoke at the opening session of the training course and explained that at the moment, the fishing sector was experiencing challenges which resulted in the country’s fishing resources dwindling significantly. “There is over-exploitation, unregulated and illegal fishing practices,” she was quoted as saying.
