The Caribbean Agricultural Research Development Institute’s (CARDI) US multimillion-dollar funded stock feed project at Ebini, in Region Ten has been progressing and the agency is set to give a status update very soon.
The planned project, which is located in the country’s Intermediate Savannahs, would see the cultivation of several crops, including rice and corn, which will be processed and used as animal feed locally, with the intention of later catering for the livestock needs of other CARICOM countries, particularly Trinidad and Tobago.
“The project is moving along and we will soon be making an announcement through CARDI in Guyana,” Morris Wilson, Coordinator of the 5,000-acre agriculture and agro- processing project at Ebini, told Stabroek News via telephone yesterday.
