Hundreds of persons flocked to the Anna Regina Market day early Sunday to take advantage of cheaper prices for fruits and vegetables.
The Farmer’s Market Day was organized by the Ministry of Agriculture in collaboration with the Guyana Marketing Corporation. Persons were seen in several lines purchasing chicken and eggs which were the two most sought after commodities.
Eggs were offered at $1400 per tray, Chicken at $300 per pound and Mutton at $1200 per pound. Other meats were offered at a reduced price also. Agro-processors journeyed from as far as the Pomeroon River to be a part of the activity. The tables and chairs along with tents were provided free of cost for vendors.
