At the Guyana Livestock Development Association (GLDA) poultry symposium on Friday, President Irfaan Ali said that the government is willing to handle proposed co-investments in the areas of a sausage plant, a chicken nugget facility, and a protein plant for aquaculture.

He also noted that they are committed to examining the opening up of 25,000 acres of land and having farmers grow rice as an input to feed production for the poultry industry.

In his address he examined the forward and backward linkages in the food production chain of which agriculture is the producer of raw material.
