Over 500 farmers along the Pomeroon River in Region Two are experiencing a boost in production following the implementation of a bed and drainage project. According to the Department of Public Information (DPI) the programme, which was initiated by President Irfaan Ali and launched in 2023, aims to elevate farm beds and dredge the lands to enhance drainage and irrigation.
The DPI report said the project has brought relief to the over 500 farmers in the lower and upper Pomeroon areas, who were previously plagued by severe flooding. The intervention has allowed these farmers to cultivate their lands more effectively, resulting in increased production.
