Assuring that Guyana will commit the necessary resources to ensure that CARICOM’s ’25 by 2025’ food import reduction is achieved, President Irfaan Ali yesterday called on all politicians in the region to join the effort.
“I want to say to you, you not only have our commitment from Guyana; as far as our resources would allow us, we are going to provide the financing that is required to help to support the implementation of this strategy because it is key for all of us,” the president said.
The keynote speaker at yesterday’s launch of the CARICOM Agriculture Investment Forum and Expo expected to held here from May 19 -21, Guyana’s President told an audience at the Arthur Chung Conference Centre that the region needs to return to the agriculture skillsets passed on by its ancestors and it must be embraced by all policymakers and transcend governments or it will fail when governments change.
