Thousands of rice farmers in the Pomeroon-Supenaam Region on Thursday showed up at various locations to uplift vouchers for fertiliser promised by the government.
The registration process had commenced in June at various locations for farmers to get their names on the list after which a verification process was carried by officers of the Guyana Rice Development Board (GRDB).
The distribution areas included Good Hope-Fairfield, Vilvorden-Onderneeming, Suddie-La Union, Queenstown-Reliance, Bushlot-Richmond, La Belle Alliance-Windsor Castle, Hampton Court-Elsa, Perth-Better Hope, and La Resource-New Road.
