-as livestock feed project proceeds
Some 4,000 acres of soya bean are currently being harvested along the Berbice River and government is preparing the infrastructure for storage and processing of soya and other beans in Region 10, while looking to begin the construction of the foundation for a bean plant as well as a hardware house.
With the procuring entity being the Ministry of Agriculture’s National Drainage and Irrigation Authority (NDIA), and the engineer’s estimate being $748.6 million, bids for the projects for building the foundation for the Bean Plant and a Hardware House were opened last week at the National Procurement and Tender Administration Board (NPTAB).
“It is the foundation to put up the plant for the beans,” Chairman of NDIA Lionel Wordsworth told the Sunday Stabroek when contacted.
