The Brazilian Green Dwarf coconut variety has officially been introduced in Guyana through an arrangement between the Ministry of Agriculture (MoA) and the Caribbean Agriculture Research and Development Institute (CARDI).
Its introduction was conceptualized following discussions held during the inaugural Agri-Investment Forum and Expo in Guyana last May.
According to a statement by the MoA, the first shipment of 1,000 seed nuts arrived in Guyana from Brazil in October. This will result in detailed research and product development for the coconut industry in Guyana.
