Guyana will import another 50,000 high-yielding coconut plants from Costa Rica to further advance its industry, according to the Department of Public Information (DPI).
This was revealed by Minister of Agriculture, Zulfikar Mustapha last week during an outreach to residents of Tuschen, East Bank Essequibo, and Windsor Forest, West Coast Demerara.
“We have another 50,000 high-yielding coconuts coming from Costa Rica. We are helping farmers to get these varieties so that they can increase and improve their coconut variety,” the minister stated.
