Several years after the Stabroek Business first encountered the Region Nine farming couple, Marko Codrington and Kim Casimiro, we met them again, in November, at Lethem. They have returned to agriculture after having given up the pursuit for an unspecified period of time.
At the time of the Stabroek Business’ earlier meeting, Kim had been the Chairperson of the Helping Hands Agro Processors Organization, a women-run production centre at St Ignatius which was producing cashew nuts, cashew butter, and peanut butter. Back then, their target markets were the Guyana Defence Force Base at Barrack Retreat Road, the School Feeding Programme at St Ignatius, supermarkets and shops at Lethem and the Guyana Marketing Corporation’s Guyana Shop in Georgetown.
