A hinterland poultry project funded by the three oil companies operating in the Stabroek Block has touched all 57 Rupununi communities since its launch in March of 2022.
This is according to a release on Friday from the Greater Guyana Initiative (GGI) which is a 10-year socioeconomic project being funded by ExxonMobil, Hess and CNOOC to the tune of $20b. The poultry venture known as the ‘Egg Sandwich’ Project was the first to be financed under the GGI to the tune of $120m.
The release said that the project has successfully reached all 57 communities in the Rupununi, with over 80 per cent now actively engaged in poultry farming.
