Indian expertise tapped for development in various sectors

Vice President Bharrat Jagdeo announced yesterday that the government will tap into Indian expertise in tissue culture to boost the agricultural sector, as well as other areas.

“We are hoping that within the next few months a lot of these specialists will be recruited and brought to Guyana and give a big boost to the agriculture sector and expand its productivity,” he said.

Pointing out that India is a powerhouse in agricultural production and research, which has the ability to feed 1.4 billion people, he said Guyana is working aggressively to tap into its resources.
