Mocha, Parika farmers ‘exchange notes’ on good farming practices

Here’s how it’s done: A Parika farmer demonstrates the use of a Tiller for the benefit of farmers

On Monday November 18 a group of farmers from Parika in Region Three,  reciprocated an earlier visit paid to their community by farmers from the community of Mocha on the East Bank Demerara under the Guyana Marketing Corporation’s Farmers’ Exchange Programme, the objective of which is to allow for the sharing of experiences and deriving mutual benefit from each other’s pursuits on their respective farms.

 The earlier, October 23 visit to Parika by the Mocha Farmers’ Group having been considered a considerable success in terms of the exchange of experiences and the sharing of information on farming techniques and challenges, the farmers at Mocha were reportedly looking forward to the return visit.
