While spending over $1.2 billion towards infrastructural development in Tacama, Region 10 (Upper Demerara-Berbice) area towards livestock feed sustainability projects and other food security initiatives, government is exploring replication of similar projects across the country because of its success, Minister of Agriculture Zulfikar Mustapha has said.
At Tacama, corn and soya bean have been planted and reaped on a large scale, with the consortium that started that project already in the trial phase of planting over 2,000 acres of millet.
